Rockwell Automation Arena vulnerabilities

A remote code execution security issue exists in the affected products when parsing DOE files that could allow a remote attacker to write past the end of an allocated object and execute code within the context of the current process. To exploit this vulnerability, a legitimate user must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.

A security issue exists within Arena® Simulation due to a memory corruption vulnerability in the siman.exe (Siman) component. The vulnerability stems from improper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in an out-of-bounds write. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process by convincing a user to open a malicious file.

A security issue exists within Arena® Simulation due to a memory corruption vulnerability in the linker.exe (Siman) component. The vulnerability stems from improper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in an out-of-bounds write. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process by convincing a user to open a malicious file.

A security issue exists within Arena® Simulation due to a memory corruption vulnerability in the expmt.exe (Siman) component. The vulnerability stems from improper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in an out-of-bounds write. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process by convincing a user to open a malicious file.

A security issue exists within Arena® Simulation due to a memory corruption vulnerability in the model.exe (Siman) component. The vulnerability stems from improper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in an out-of-bounds write. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process by convincing a user to open a malicious file.

Rockwell Automation Arena® suffers from a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of DOE files. Local attackers are able to exploit this issue to potentially execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Arena®. Exploiting the vulnerability requires opening a malicious DOE file.
