===============
1) Introduction
===============
Asus Video Security is a monitoring software bundled with Asus graphic
cards.
By default the built-in web server is disabled so these bugs can be
exploited "only" if it has been manually activated.

2) Bugs
=======
--------------------------------
A] authorization buffer-overflow
--------------------------------
Exists a buffer-overflow which happens during the handling of the
decoded (base64) username:password string sent to a password protected
ASUS Video Security web server.
The server is not vulnerable if doesn't use authorization.
----------------------
B] directory traversal
----------------------
The built-in web server is also vulnerable to a classical directory
traversal bug which allows an attacker to download any file in the disk
where the program is installed.
That's possible through the usage of the dot-dot-slash and backslash
patterns (HTTP encoded chars are not allowed in the web server).
If the server is protected with password the attacker must know the
right keyword.
