CVE-2013-0658
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedHeap-based buffer overflow in RFManagerService.exe in Schneider Electric Accutech Manager 2.00.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTTP request.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceHeap-based buffer overflow in RFManagerService.exe in Schneider Electric Accutech Manager 2.00.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTTP request. The vulnerability exists in the HTTP handling component of the RFManagerService, which does not properly validate input size before copying data to the heap, leading to memory corruption and potential code execution.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate the RFManagerService.exe binarySearch the file system for RFManagerService.exe, typically found in the Accutech Manager installation directory (e.g., C:\Program Files\Schneider Electric\Accutech Manager\ or similar). Verify the file exists and note its full path.Affected if The file RFManagerService.exe exists on the system, indicating the vulnerable component is present.
-
Determine the installed version of Accutech ManagerRight-click the RFManagerService.exe file, select Properties, and check the Version tab. Alternatively, check the program version through Windows Programs and Features (Add/Remove Programs) for Schneider Electric Accutech Manager.Affected if The installed version is 2.00.1 or any earlier version, placing it within the affected range.
-
Verify the HTTP service component is enabledCheck if RFManagerService.exe is configured to listen on HTTP ports (typically port 80 or configured HTTP port). Review service configuration files in the installation directory or check Windows Services console to see if the RFManagerService is running and listening for network connections.Affected if The RFManagerService is running and exposing an HTTP listener on the network, making the HTTP handling vulnerability reachable.
-
Confirm network accessibility of the serviceUse netstat or a similar tool to check if the system is listening on ports associated with RFManagerService (commonly TCP ports for HTTP). Identify which network interfaces (IP addresses) the service is bound to.Affected if The RFManagerService HTTP interface is bound to accessible network interfaces (especially routable IP addresses), not only localhost.
A system is affected if it runs Schneider Electric Accutech Manager version 2.00.1 or earlier with the RFManagerService HTTP component exposed on the network.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade Schneider Electric Accutech Manager to a version beyond 2.00.1 that addresses this vulnerability. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict network access to the RFManagerService and implement input validation at network perimeter controls.
Contact Schneider Electric for the specific fixed release (version higher than 2.00.1)
- 1. Identify all deployed instances of Schneider Electric Accutech Manager version 2.00.1 or earlier.
- 2. Contact Schneider Electric technical support to obtain the latest fixed version of Accutech Manager.
- 3. Before upgrading, backup all configuration data and verify backup integrity.
- 4. Schedule a maintenance window to minimize operational impact.
- 5. Deploy the upgraded Accutech Manager version in a test environment first to validate functionality.
- 6. After successful testing, apply the upgrade to production systems following the vendor's upgrade procedure.
- 7. Verify the upgrade was successful and the RFManagerService.exe is running the patched version.
