Absolute path traversal vulnerability in the 3D Graph ActiveX control in cw3dgrph.ocx in National Instruments LabWindows/CVI 2012 SP1 and earlier, LabVIEW 2012 SP1 and earlier, and other products allows remote attackers to create and execute arbitrary files via a full pathname in an argument to the ExportStyle method, in conjunction with file content in the (1) Caption or (2) FormatString property value.
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
