NetShareWatcher 1.5.8.0 has an SEH buffer overflow allowing local code execution via the Restrictions filter.
Vulnerability
NetShareWatcher version 1.5.8.0 contains a structured exception handler (SEH) buffer overflow vulnerability. This vulnerability is triggered when the Find function is invoked after an attacker crafts malicious input. The vulnerability resides in the Restrictions custom filter field [2].
Exploitation
Local attackers can exploit this vulnerability by supplying malicious input through the Restrictions custom filter field. By overwriting the SEH and NSEH pointers with a crafted payload, an attacker can trigger arbitrary code execution when the Find function is called [2]. No specific privileges or user interaction are mentioned as requirements for exploitation.
Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code on the affected system. This could lead to a full compromise of the system with the privileges of the running NetShareWatcher process [2].
Mitigation
NetShareWatcher version 1.5.8.0 is affected by this vulnerability. Information regarding a fixed version or a patch release date is not yet disclosed in the available references. No workarounds are provided [1, 2].
