Access of Resource Using Incompatible Type ('Type Confusion') vulnerability in AzeoTech DAQFactory
In AzeoTech DAQFactory release 20.7 (Build 2555), an Access of Resource Using Incompatible Type vulnerability can be exploited to cause memory corruption while parsing specially crafted .ctl files. This could allow an attacker to execute code in the context of the current process.
AzeoTech has released the following update that addresses these issues:
* DAQFactory: Release 21.1
AzeoTech also recommends users take the following actions to reduce the risk:
* Users are discouraged from using documents from unknown/untrusted sources.
* Users are encouraged to store .ctl files in a folder only writeable by admin-level users.
* Users are encouraged to operate in “Safe Mode” when loading documents that have been out of their control.
* Users are encouraged to apply a document editing password to their documents.
