A vulnerability has been identified in Simcenter Femap V2306 (All versions), Simcenter Femap V2401 (All versions), Simcenter Femap V2406 (All versions). The affected application is vulnerable to heap-based buffer overflow while parsing specially crafted BDF files. This could allow an attacker to execute code in the context of the current process.
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().
