A memory abuse issue exists in the Rockwell Automation Arena® Simulation. A custom file can force Arena Simulation to read and write past the end of memory space. Successful use requires user action, such as opening a bad file or webpage. If used, a threat actor could execute code or disclose information.
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().
