DESCRIPTION:
Luigi Auriemma has discovered two vulnerabilities in Sunway
ForceControl and Sunway pNetPower, which can be exploited by
malicious people to disclose system information and compromise a
user's system.

1) An error in NetServer.exe when processing certain packets can be
exploited to disclose the contents of arbitrary files via directory
traversal specifiers sent in a specially crafted packet to TCP port
2006.

2) The application bundles a vulnerable version of the Read & Write
Excel ActiveX control.

For more information:
SA46144

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in the following versions (other
versions may also be affected):
* Sunway ForceControl 6.1 SP3.
* Sunway pNetPower 6.0.

SOLUTION:
Set the kill-bit for the ActiveX control. Restrict access to trusted
hosts only.
