Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
IBHsoftec S7-SoftPLC versions prior to 4.12b
Description
The issue is caused by a heap-based buffer overflow in the object memory when reading a network packet that is larger than the available space. This can allow a remote attacker to impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 4.12b, update to version 4.12b or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the network to minimize the risk of exploitation.
