3S CODESYS CmpWebServerHandlerV3 Heap-based Buffer Overflow

critical Nessus Plugin ID 131704

Language:

Synopsis

A 3S CODESYS V3 environment on the remote host is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability

Description

A heap-based buffer overflow condition exists in CmpWebServerHandlerV3 due to improper validation of user-supplied data. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a series of specially crafted messages, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.

Note that Nessus has not tested for the issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade 3S CODESYS V3 runtime to version 3.5.15.20 or higher.
