SBA Research is a research center for Information Security funded partly by the national initiative for COMET Competence Centers for Excellent Technologies.
The vulnerability is caused by a buffer overflow in a memcpy operation when parsing specailly crafted KNXnet/IP packets in the Group messages monitor (aka. Falcon). An according proof-of-concept exploit which was tested on an affected ETS version installed on a Windows XP SP3 can be found below. The proof-of-concept exploit generates the UDP packet which triggers the vulnerability and should at least crash the application (it requires python and scapy to run). Read More
