#
# Title: Altova DatabaseSpy 2011 Project File Handling Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
#
#
# Vendor: Altova GmbH
# Product web page: http://www.altova.com
# Affected version: Enterprise Edition 2011
#
#
# Summary: Altova DatabaseSpyยฎ 2011 is the unique multi-database query, design,
# and database comparison tool. It connects to all major databases, easing SQL
# editing, database structure design, database content editing, database schema
# and content comparison, and database conversion for a fraction of the cost of
# single-database solutions.
#
#
# Desc: The Altova DatabaseSpy 2011 Enterprise Edition suffers from a buffer
# overflow/memory corruption vulnerability when handling project files (.qprj).
# The issue is triggered because there is no boundry checking of some XML tag
# property values, ex: <Folder FolderName="SQL" Type="AAAAAAA..../>" (~1000 bytes).
# This can aid the attacker to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of an
# affected node (locally and remotely) via file crafting or computer-based social
# engineering.
#
#
# Tested on: Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3 (English)
#
