CVE-2014-9190
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 · uneditedStack-based buffer overflow in Schneider Electric Wonderware InTouch Access Anywhere Server 10.6 and 11.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a request for a filename that does not exist.
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.

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.
-
Verify InTouch Access Anywhere Server is installedCheck for the presence of the Wonderware InTouch Access Anywhere Server service or application installation on the system. Look for the service named 'Wonderware InTouch Access Anywhere' or check Program Files for Wonderware directories.Affected if The product is installed on the system
-
Identify the installed versionLocate the version information for the installed InTouch Access Anywhere Server. Check the application's About section, the Windows installed programs list, or any version file within the installation directory.Affected if The installed version equals 10.6 or 11.0 exactly
-
Confirm HTTP service is listeningCheck if the InTouch Access Anywhere Server HTTP service is running and listening on its configured port (typically port 80 or 443). Use netstat or similar tool to verify the service is bound to a network interface.Affected if The HTTP service is active and listening on a network-facing interface
-
Assess network exposureDetermine if the server is accessible from outside the local network by reviewing firewall rules, network configurations, and any port forwarding settings that expose the HTTP service.Affected if The server HTTP port is accessible from untrusted networks or the internet
-
Inspect HTTP access logs for anomalous requestsReview the InTouch Access Anywhere Server HTTP access logs for requests to non-existent files or directories, particularly those with unusually long URL paths that may indicate exploitation attempts.Affected if Logs show requests to non-existent resources with abnormal patterns or evidence of buffer overflow attempts
The environment is affected if Schneider Electric Wonderware InTouch Access Anywhere Server version 10.6 or 11.0 is installed with its HTTP service exposed to 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.
From vendor dataApply vendor security patches or upgrade to a fixed version of InTouch Access Anywhere Server; until patched, restrict network exposure of the server and monitor for exploitation attempts.
