Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer
CVE-2014-9263
Summary
Multiple buffer overflows in the PocketNetNVRMediaClientAxCtrl.NVRMediaViewer.1 control in 3S Pocketnet Tech VMS allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted string to the (1) StartRecord, (2) StartRecordEx, (3) StartScheduledRecord, (4) SetDisplayText, (5) GetONVIFDeviceInformation, (6) GetONVIFProfiles, or (7) GetONVIFStreamUri method or a crafted filename to the (8) SaveCurrentImage or (9) SaveCurrentImageEx method.

CWE-119 - Buffer Overflow
Buffer overflow attacks involve data transit and operations exceeding the restricted memory buffer, thereby corrupting or overwriting data in adjacent memory locations. Such overflow allows the attacker to run arbitrary code or manipulate the existing code to cause privilege escalation, data breach, denial of service, system crash and even complete system compromise. Given that languages such as C and C++ lack default safeguards against overwriting or accessing data in their memory, applications utilizing these languages are most susceptible to buffer overflows attacks.
