CVE-2021-44450 vulnerability in Siemens Products
Published on December 14, 2021
A vulnerability has been identified in JT Utilities (All versions < V12.8.1.1), JTTK (All versions < V10.8.1.1). JTTK library in affected products is vulnerable to an out of bounds read past the end of an allocated buffer when parsing JT files. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to leak information in the context of the current process. (ZDI-CAN-15055, ZDI-CAN-14915, ZDI-CAN-14865)
Weakness Type
Out-of-bounds Read
The software reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer. Typically, this can allow attackers to read sensitive information from other memory locations or cause a crash. A crash can occur when the code reads a variable amount of data and assumes that a sentinel exists to stop the read operation, such as a NUL in a string. The expected sentinel might not be located in the out-of-bounds memory, causing excessive data to be read, leading to a segmentation fault or a buffer overflow. The software may modify an index or perform pointer arithmetic that references a memory location that is outside of the boundaries of the buffer. A subsequent read operation then produces undefined or unexpected results.
