Descriptions

A vulnerability has been identified in Tecnomatix Plant Simulation (All versions < V2201.0006). The affected application is vulnerable to uninitialized pointer access while parsing specially crafted SPP files. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. (ZDI-CAN-19788)

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 initialization of a pointer prior to accessing it. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
