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. A vulnerability has been identified in Simcenter Femap (All versions < V2022.1.2). The affected application contains an out of bounds read past the end of an allocated buffer while parsing specially crafted .NEU files. This could allow an attacker to execute code in the context of the current process. (ZDI-CAN-15114) Affected products include: Siemens Simcenter Femap.

SSVC AssessmentENISA
Priority Score
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.
