CVE Name: CVE-2013-2576


3. *Vulnerability Description*

Artweaver [1], [2] is prone to a security vulnerability when processing
AWD files. This vulnerability could be exploited by a remote attacker to
execute arbitrary code on the target machine by enticing Artweaver users
to open a specially crafted file.


4. *Vulnerable Packages*

   . Artweaver v3.1.6.
   . Artweaver v4.0.


6. *Vendor Information, Solutions and Workarounds*

Vendor notifies that Artweaver v3.1.6 and v4.0 are available and fix the
reported vulnerability. Vendor encourages all Artweaver users to update
to the latest version:

   1. http://www.artweaver.de/en/help/68
   2. Artweaver Plus - http://www.artweaver.de/en/help/80
   3. Artweaver Free - http://www.artweaver.de/en/help/81


7. *Credits*

This vulnerability was discovered and researched by Daniel Kazimirow
from Core Exploit Writers Team. The publication of this advisory was
coordinated by Fernando Miranda from Core Advisories Team.


8. *Technical Description / Proof of Concept Code*

Below is shown the result of opening the maliciously crafted file
'CORE-2013-0701-artweaver-poc-28ab190b137f3.AWD'[3], which means the
normal execution flow can be altered in order to execute arbitrary code.
