SAP SQL Anywhere .NET Data Provider SPACE Function Heap Overflow Code Execution Vulnerability

CVE ID	CVE-2014-9264
CVSS SCORE	8.5, AV:U/AC:M/Au:U/C:P/I:P/A:P
AFFECTED VENDORS	SAP
AFFECTED PRODUCTS	SQL Anywhere
VULNERABILITY DETAILS	This allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on applications which pass user provided data to the vulnerable API in SAP SQL Anywhere. The specific flaw exists within the handling of the SPACE function. If an application allows untrusted input to be used as the length of a SPACE function in a query, even if the input is correctly filtered against SQL injection, an attacker could take advantage of an arithmetic truncation error to overflow a heap buffer and execute arbitrary code in the context of the application.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS	SAP released Security Note 2057277 (http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-8218) to address this issue.
DISCLOSURE TIMELINE	2014-04-06 - Vulnerability reported to vendor 2014-12-09 - Coordinated public release of advisory
