Technical ContextAI · show details

This vulnerability is classified as Out-of-bounds Read (CWE-125), which allows attackers to read data from memory outside the intended buffer boundaries. An out-of-bounds read issue exists in the DWG file-recovering procedure in the Drawings SDK (All versions prior to 2022.5) resulting from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data. This can result in a read past the end of an allocated buffer and allow attackers to cause a denial-of-service condition or read sensitive information from memory locations. Affected products include: Opendesign Drawings Sdk, Siemens Comos, Siemens Jt2Go, Siemens Teamcenter Visualization. Version information: prior to 2022.5.

Attack Technique

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.

Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
