Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the KeyHelp.KeyCtrl.1 ActiveX control in KeyHelp.ocx 1.2.312 in KeyWorks KeyHelp Module (aka the HTML Help component), as used in EMC Documentum ApplicationXtender Desktop 5.4; EMC Captiva Quickscan Pro 4.6 SP1; GE Intelligent Platforms Proficy Historian 3.1, 3.5, 4.0, and 4.5; GE Intelligent Platforms Proficy HMI/SCADA iFIX 5.0 and 5.1; GE Intelligent Platforms Proficy Pulse 1.0; GE Intelligent Platforms Proficy Batch Execution 5.6; GE Intelligent Platforms SI7 I/O Driver 7.20 through 7.42; and other products, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long string in the second argument to the (1) JumpMappedID or (2) JumpURL method.

An ActiveX control in KeyHelp.ocx in KeyWorks KeyHelp Module (aka the HTML Help component), as used in GE Intelligent Platforms Proficy Historian 3.1, 3.5, 4.0, and 4.5; Proficy HMI/SCADA iFIX 5.0 and 5.1; Proficy Pulse 1.0; Proficy Batch Execution 5.6; SI7 I/O Driver 7.20 through 7.42; and other products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via crafted input, related to a "command injection vulnerability."

The Data Archiver service in GE Intelligent Platforms Proficy Historian 4.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted session on TCP port 14000 to (1) ihDataArchiver.exe or (2) ihDataArchiver_x64.exe.

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in GE Intelligent Platforms Proficy Applications before 4.4.1 SIM 101 and 5.x before 5.0 SIM 43 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted TCP message traffic to (1) PRProficyMgr.exe in Proficy Server Manager, (2) PRGateway.exe in Proficy Server Gateway, (3) PRRDS.exe in Proficy Remote Data Service, or (4) PRLicenseMgr.exe in Proficy Server License Manager.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the Data Archiver service in GE Intelligent Platforms Proficy Historian before 3.5 SIM 17 and 4.x before 4.0 SIM 12 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted TCP message traffic.
