Descriptions

In Rockwell Automation Arena Simulation Software Cat. 9502-Ax, Versions 16.00.00 and earlier, a maliciously crafted Arena file opened by an unsuspecting user may result in the use of a pointer that has not been initialized.

En Rockwell Automation Arena Simulación Software Cat. 9502-Axe, versiones 16.00.00 y anteriores, un archivo Arena diseñado con fines maliciosos abierto por parte de un usuario desprevenido puede resultar en el uso de un puntero que no ha sido inicializado.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Rockwell Automation Arena Simulation. 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 processing of DOE files. The issue results from the lack of proper initialization of a pointer prior to accessing it. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
