Description

GeoWebPlayer (also called "Web Plugin" in the GV-VMS documentation and "WS Player" for VMS-Cloud) is an addon that can be installed with various GeoVision software (GV-VMS, GV-Cloud, ...). It creates a websocket server that expands the capabilities of the various web-interfaces provided by the GeoVision software and may be necessary for them to function properly. The Websocket server can accept various commands coming from localhost. One of them, `connectionInfo` is meant to provide the necessary details to connect to a camera. The handler associated with this command that we call`handle_connection_info` contains multiple instances of string copy that can overflow. The function `handle_connect_info` copies attacker-controlled JSON strings into fixed-size buffers using manual byte-by-byte loops that do not enforce length limits. #### Buffer Overflow in key field

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in GeoWebPlayer, an addon for GeoVision software, which creates a websocket server to enhance web interface capabilities. The server accepts commands from localhost, including one called `connectionInfo` that provides camera connection details. The handler for this command, `handle_connection_info`, improperly copies attacker-controlled JSON strings into fixed-size buffers without enforcing length limits, leading to multiple instances of buffer overflow.

Impact Analysis

The buffer overflow vulnerability in the `handle_connection_info` function can lead to serious impacts including complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. Given the CVSS score of 8.3 with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, an attacker could potentially execute arbitrary code, cause denial of service, or gain unauthorized access.
