Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Siemens Tecnomatix Plant Simulation. This issue affects an unknown functionality of the component WRL File Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a heap-based overflow vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-122. A heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc(). Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

A vulnerability has been identified in Tecnomatix Plant Simulation V2201 (All versions < V2201.0012), Tecnomatix Plant Simulation V2302 (All versions < V2302.0006). The affected application is vulnerable to heap-based buffer overflow while parsing specially crafted WRL files. This could allow an attacker to execute code in the context of the current process.

The weakness was released 02/13/2024 as ssa-017796. The advisory is shared at cert-portal.siemens.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2024-23796 since 01/22/2024. It demands that the victim is doing some kind of user interaction. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available.
