# SSA-740908: File Parsing Vulnerabilities in JT Translator in NX

Publication Date:        2021-11-09
Last Update:             2021-11-09
Current Version:         1.0
CVSS v3.1 Base Score:    3.3

SUMMARY
=======

Siemens NX is affected by two vulnerabilities that could be triggered
when the application reads JT files. If a user is tricked to open a
malicious file with the affected application, this could lead to an
access violation, and potentially also to arbitrary code execution on
the target host system.

Siemens has released an update for the NX 1980 Series and recommends to
update to the latest version. Siemens recommends to avoid opening of
untrusted files from unknown sources.


AFFECTED PRODUCTS AND SOLUTION
==============================


* NX 1980 Series
  - Affected versions:
       All versions < V1984
  - Remediation:
       Update to V1984 or later version
       See further recommendations from section "Workarounds and Mitigations"
  - Download:
       https://support.sw.siemens.com/


WORKAROUNDS AND MITIGATIONS
===========================

Siemens has identified the following specific workarounds and mitigations that
customers can apply to reduce the risk:

* Avoid opening files from unknown sources in NX



GENERAL SECURITY 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.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
===================

NX software is an integrated toolset that helps to develop design,
simulation, and manufacturing solutions by supporting various aspects of
product development allowing the designer to optimize shape to achieve a
multidisciplinary design.

VULNERABILITY CLASSIFICATION
============================

The vulnerability classification has been performed by using the CVSS scoring
system in version 3.1 (CVSS v3.1) (https://www.first.org/cvss/). The CVSS
environmental score is specific to the customer's environment and will impact
the overall CVSS score. The environmental score should therefore be
individually defined by the customer to accomplish final scoring.

An additional classification has been performed using the CWE classification, a
community-developed list of common software security weaknesses. This serves as
a common language and as a baseline for weakness identification, mitigation,
and prevention efforts. A detailed list of CWE classes can be found at:
https://cwe.mitre.org/.



* Vulnerability CVE-2021-41533

  The affected application 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-13565).

  CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 3.3
  CVSS Vector:          CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:P/RL:T/RC:C
  CWE:                  CWE-125: Out-of-bounds Read

* Vulnerability CVE-2021-41534

  The affected application 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-13703).

  CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 3.3
  CVSS Vector:          CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:P/RL:T/RC:C
  CWE:                  CWE-125: Out-of-bounds Read
