# SSA-949188: File Parsing Vulnerabilities in Simcenter Femap before V2022.1.1

Publication Date:        2022-02-17
Last Update:             2022-02-17
Current Version:         1.0
CVSS v3.1 Base Score:    7.8

SUMMARY
=======

Siemens Simcenter Femap versions before V2022.1.1 are affected by
vulnerabilities that could be triggered when the application reads files
in .NEU or .BDF format. If a user is tricked to open a malicious file
with the affected application, an attacker could leverage the
vulnerability to leak information or potentially perform remote code
execution in the context of the current process.

Siemens recommends to update to the latest version line of Simcenter
Femap and to avoid opening of untrusted files from unknown sources.


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


* Simcenter Femap
  - Affected versions:
       All versions < V2022.1.1
  - Remediation:
       Update to V2022.1.1 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 NEU or BDF files in Simcenter Femap



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
===================

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-2021-46162

  Affected application contains an out of bounds write past the end of an
  allocated structure while parsing specially crafted NEU files. This
  could allow an attacker to execute code in the context of the current
  process. (ZDI-CAN-15048)

  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-2021-46699

  Affected application contains a stack based buffer overflow
  vulnerability while parsing specially crafted BDF files. This could
  allow an attacker to execute code in the context of the current process.
  (ZDI-CAN-15061)

  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-121: Stack-based Buffer Overflow
