CVE-2017-12732
A Stack-based Buffer Overflow issue was discovered in GE CIMPLICITY Versions 9.0 and prior.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.75%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
A Stack-based Buffer Overflow issue was discovered in GE CIMPLICITY Versions 9.0 and prior. A function reads a packet to indicate the next packet length. The next packet length is not verified, allowing a buffer overwrite that could lead to an arbitrary remote code execution.
