Descriptions

A vulnerability has been identified in Solid Edge SE2021 (All Versions < SE2021MP7). The PSKERNEL.dll library lacks proper validation while parsing user-supplied OBJ files that could cause an out of bounds access to an uninitialized pointer. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. (ZDI-CAN-13775)

Se ha identificado una vulnerabilidad en Solid Edge versión SE2021 (Todas las versiones anteriores a SE2021MP7). La biblioteca PSKERNEL.dll carece de una comprobación apropiada mientras analiza los archivos OBJ suministrados por el usuario, lo que podría causar un acceso fuera de límites a un puntero no inicializado. Un atacante podría aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para ejecutar código en el contexto del proceso actual. (ZDI-CAN-13775)

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Siemens Solid Edge Viewer. 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 OBJ 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.
