Descriptions

LCDS Laquis SCADA prior to version 4.1.0.4150 allows an attacker using a specially crafted project file to supply a pointer for a controlled memory address, which may allow remote code execution, data exfiltration, or cause a system crash.

LCDS Laquis SCADA, en versiones anteriores a la 4.1.0.4150, permite a un atacante utilizar un archivo de proyecto especialmente manipulado para proporcionar un puntero para una dirección de memoria controlada, lo que podría permitir la ejecución remota de código, la exfiltración de datos o el cierre inesperado del sistema.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of LAquis SCADA Software. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of LQS files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied value prior to dereferencing it as a pointer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the process.
