SSA-938030: DGN and PAR File Parsing Vulnerabilities in JT2Go and Teamcenter Visualization before V13.2.0.2

Publication Date:	2021-08-10
Last Update:	2021-09-14
Current Version:	V1.1
CVSS v3.1 Base Score:	7.8

SUMMARY

Siemens has released version V13.2.0.2 for JT2Go and Teamcenter Visualization to fix three vulnerabilities that could be triggered while parsing DGN or PAR files. If a user is tricked to open a malicious file with the affected products, this could lead the application to crash or potential arbitrary code execution.

Siemens recommends to update to the latest versions and to limit opening of untrusted files from unknown sources in the affected products.

Note:

This advisory also covers security vulnerabilities recently disclosed by Open Design Alliance [0]

Avoid to open untrusted files from unknown sources in JT2Go and Teamcenter Visualization

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

JT2Go is a 3D JT viewing tool to allow users to view JT, PDF, Solid Edge, PLM XML with available JT, VFZ, CGM, and TIF data.

Teamcenter Visualization software enables enterprises to enhance their product lifecycle management (PLM) environment with a comprehensive family of visualization solutions. The software enables enterprise users to access documents, 2D drawings and 3D models in a single environment.

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-2021-32946

An improper check for unusual or exceptional conditions issue exists within the parsing DGN files from Open Design Alliance Drawings SDK (Version 2022.4 and prior) resulting from the lack of proper validation of the user-supplied data. This may result in several of out-of-bounds problems and allow attackers to cause a denial-of-service condition or execute code in the context of the current process.

CVSS v3.1 Base Score	7.8
CVSS Vector	CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C
CWE:	CWE-754: Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions

Vulnerability CVE-2021-32952

An out-of-bounds write issue exists in the DGN file-reading procedure in the Drawings SDK (Version 2022.4 and prior) resulting from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data. This can result in a write past the end of an allocated buffer and allow attackers to cause a denial-of-service condition or execute code in the context of the current process.

CVSS v3.1 Base Score	7.8
CVSS Vector	CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C
CWE:	CWE-787: Out-of-bounds Write

Vulnerability CVE-2021-33738

The plmxmlAdapterSE70.dll library in affected applications lacks proper validation of user-supplied data when parsing PAR files. This could result in an out of bounds read past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to leak information in the context of the current process. (ZDI-CAN-13405)

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:O/RC:C
CWE:	CWE-125: Out-of-bounds Read
