Descriptions

A vulnerability has been identified in Tecnomatix Plant Simulation (All versions < V16.0.5). The PlantSimCore.dll library lacks proper validation of user-supplied data when parsing SPP files. This could result in a stack based buffer overflow, a different vulnerability than CVE-2021-27396. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. (ZDI-CAN-13290)

Se ha identificado una vulnerabilidad en Tecnomatix Plant Simulation (Todas las versiones anteriores a V16.0.5). La biblioteca PlantSimCore.dll carece de una comprobación apropiada de los datos suministrados por el usuario al analizar archivos SPP. Esto podría resultar en un desbordamiento del búfer en la región stack de la memoria, una vulnerabilidad diferente de CVE-2021-27396. Un atacante podría aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para ejecutar código en el contexto del proceso actual. (ZDI ? CAN-13290)

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Siemens Tecnomatix Plant 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 parsing of SPP files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a stack-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
