A vulnerability has been identified in Opcenter Execution Foundation (All versions), Opcenter Quality (All versions), Opcenter RDL (All versions), SIMATIC PCS neo V4.0 (All versions), SIMATIC PCS neo V4.1 (All versions < V4.1 Update 2), SIMATIC PCS neo V5.0 (All versions < V5.0 Update 1), SINEC NMS (All versions), SINEMA Remote Connect Client (All versions < V3.2 SP3), Totally Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal) V16 (All versions), Totally Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal) V17 (All versions < V17 Update 8), Totally Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal) V18 (All versions < V18 Update 5), Totally Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal) V19 (All versions < V19 Update 3). Affected products contain a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the integrated UMC component. This could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
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().
