Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the 'handle_connection_info' function of the GeoWebPlayer WebSocket server. The vulnerability is caused by manual byte-by-byte loops that copy attacker-controlled JSON strings into fixed-size buffers without enforcing length limits. Specifically, the 'key' field is copied into a 17-byte buffer (key_blob). An attacker can exploit this by hosting a malicious webpage that sends a specially crafted WebSocket message to the local server (localhost). Successful exploitation can lead to arbitrary code execution in the context of the plugin. The vulnerability is patched in version 1.1.3.0.
