Rockwell Automation Arena versions 15.10.00 and prior contains a use after free vulnerability caused by processing specially crafted Arena Simulation Software files that may cause the software application to crash, potentially losing any unsaved data..

Weakness

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory “belongs” to the code that operates on the new pointer.
