An issue was discovered in WECON Technology LEVI Studio HMI Editor v1.8.29 and prior. A specially-crafted malicious file may be able to cause a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability when opened by a user.
A heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc().
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
