Summary
SSA-512988: File Parsing Vulnerability in Simcenter Femap Before V2512
Notes
Summary: Siemens Simcenter Femap versions before V2512 are affected by uninitialized memory vulnerability that could be triggered when the application reads files in SLDPRT format. If a user is tricked to open a malicious file with the affected application, an attacker could leverage the vulnerability to perform remote code execution in the context of the current process. Siemens has released a new version for Simcenter Femap and recommends to update to the latest version.
General Recommendations: As a general security measure, Siemens strongly recommends to protect network access to devices with appropriate mechanisms. In order to operate the devices in a protected IT environment, Siemens recommends to configure the environment according to Siemens' operational guidelines for Industrial Security (Download: https://www.siemens.com/cert/operational-guidelines-industrial-security), and to follow the recommendations in the product manuals.
