Summary
Altova DatabaseSpy® 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.Description
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.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(342c.37c0): Access violation - code c0000005 (first chance)
First chance exceptions are reported before any exception handling.
This exception may be expected and handled.
