A vulnerability has been identified in JT2Go (All versions < V14.3.0.6), Teamcenter Visualization V13.3 (All versions < V13.3.0.13), Teamcenter Visualization V14.1 (All versions < V14.1.0.12), Teamcenter Visualization V14.2 (All versions < V14.2.0.9), Teamcenter Visualization V14.3 (All versions < V14.3.0.6). The affected applications contain a stack overflow vulnerability while parsing specially crafted CGM files. This could allow an attacker to execute code in the context of the current process.

Weakness

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).

Affected Software

Jt2go Siemens * 14.3.0.6 (excluding)
Teamcenter_visualization Siemens 13.3.0 (including) 13.3.0.13 (excluding)

Teamcenter_visualization Siemens 14.2 (including) 14.2.0.9 (excluding)
Teamcenter_visualization Siemens 14.3 (including) 14.3.0.6 (excluding)

Potential Mitigations

  • Use automatic buffer overflow detection mechanisms that are offered by certain compilers or compiler extensions. Examples include: the Microsoft Visual Studio /GS flag, Fedora/Red Hat FORTIFY_SOURCE GCC flag, StackGuard, and ProPolice, which provide various mechanisms including canary-based detection and range/index checking.
  • D3-SFCV (Stack Frame Canary Validation) from D3FEND [REF-1334] discusses canary-based detection in detail.
  • Run or compile the software using features or extensions that randomly arrange the positions of a program’s executable and libraries in memory. Because this makes the addresses unpredictable, it can prevent an attacker from reliably jumping to exploitable code.
  • Examples include Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) [REF-58] [REF-60] and Position-Independent Executables (PIE) [REF-64]. Imported modules may be similarly realigned if their default memory addresses conflict with other modules, in a process known as “rebasing” (for Windows) and “prelinking” (for Linux) [REF-1332] using randomly generated addresses. ASLR for libraries cannot be used in conjunction with prelink since it would require relocating the libraries at run-time, defeating the whole purpose of prelinking.
  • For more information on these techniques see D3-SAOR (Segment Address Offset Randomization) from D3FEND [REF-1335].
