-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 # SSA-887122: X_T File Parsing Vulnerabilities in Simcenter Femap Publication Date: 2023-11-14 Last Update: 2023-11-14 Current Version: 1.0 CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 7.8 SUMMARY ======= Simcenter Femap is affected by out of bounds write vulnerabilities that could be triggered when the application reads files in X_T format. If a user is tricked to open a malicious file with the affected applications, an attacker could leverage the vulnerability to perform remote code execution in the context of the current process. Siemens has released updates for the affected products and recommends to update to the latest versions. AFFECTED PRODUCTS AND SOLUTION ============================== * Simcenter Femap V2301 - Affected versions: All versions < V2301.0003 - Remediation: Update to V2301.0003 or later version See further recommendations from section "Workarounds and Mitigations" - Download: https://support.sw.siemens.com/ * Simcenter Femap V2306 - Affected versions: All versions < V2306.0001 - Remediation: Update to V2306.0001 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: * Do not open untrusted X_T files in Simcenter Femap Product-specific remediations or mitigations can be found in the section "Affected Products and Solution". Please follow the "General Security Recommendations". 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. Additional information on Industrial Security by Siemens can be found at: https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity PRODUCT DESCRIPTION =================== Simcenter Femap is an advanced simulation application for creating, editing, and inspecting finite element models of complex products or systems. 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-2023-41032 The affected application contains an out of bounds write past the end of an allocated structure while parsing specially crafted X_T files. This could allow an attacker to execute code in the context of the current process.
