Descriptions

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in NI System Configuration that could result in information disclosure and/or arbitrary code execution. Successful exploitation requires that an attacker can provide a specially crafted response. This affects NI System Configuration 2023 Q3 and all previous versions.

Existe una vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento del búfer basada en pila en NI System Configuration que podría resultar en la divulgación de información y/o la ejecución de código arbitrario. La explotación exitosa requiere que un atacante pueda proporcionar una respuesta especialmente manipulada. Esto afecta a NI System Configuration 2023 Q3 y todas las versiones anteriores.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of NI Measurement & Automation Explorer. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of response data from devices. 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.
