A buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered in the OpenPLC controller, in the OpenPLC_v2 and OpenPLC_v3 versions. It occurs in the modbus.cpp mapUnusedIO() function, which can cause a runtime crash of the PLC or possibly have unspecified other impact.
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.
