A vulnerability has been identified in Simcenter Femap (All versions < V2406). The affected applications contain a stack overflow vulnerability while parsing specially strings as argument for one of the application binaries. This could allow an attacker to execute code in the context of the current process.
A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function).
