Title
Rockwell Automation Heap-based Buffer Overflow In Arena® Simulation
Summary
A memory abuse issue exists in the Rockwell Automation Arena® Simulation. A custom file can force Arena Simulation to read and write past the end of memory space. Successful use requires user action, such as opening a bad file or webpage. If used, a threat actor could execute code or disclose information.
