Introduction
*********************************************************************************
Using Advantech WebAccess SCADA Software we can remotely manage Industrial
Control systems devices like RTU's, Generators, Motors etc. Attackers can
execute code remotely by passing maliciously crafted string to
ConvToSafeArray API in ASPVCOBJLib.AspDataDriven ActiveX.
Operating System: Windows SP1
Affected Product: Advantech WebAccess 8.0, 3.4.3
Vulnerable Program: AspVCObj.dll
