A vulnerability has been identified in Automation License Manager 5 (All versions < 5.3.4.4). An attacker with network access to the device could send specially crafted network packets to determine whether or not a network port on another remote system is accessible or not. This allows the attacker to do basic network scanning using the victims machine. Successful exploitation requires a network connection to the affected device. The attacker does not need privileges, no user interaction is required. The impact is limited to determining whether or not a port on a target system is accessible by the affected device.

Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) before 5.3 SP3 allows remote attackers to write to files, rename files, create directories, or delete directories via crafted packets.

SQL injection vulnerability in Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) before 5.3 SP3 Update 1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via crafted traffic to TCP port 4410.

Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) before 5.3 SP3 Update 1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (ALM service outage) via crafted packets to TCP port 4410.

Memory leak in Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) 4.x and 5.x before 5.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via crafted packets.

Absolute path traversal vulnerability in the ALMListView.ALMListCtrl ActiveX control in almaxcx.dll in the graphical user interface in Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) 2.0 through 5.1+SP1+Upd2 allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via the Save method.

Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) 4.0 through 5.1+SP1+Upd1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via crafted content in a (1) get_target_ocx_param or (2) send_target_ocx_param command.

Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) 4.0 through 5.1+SP1+Upd1 does not properly copy fields obtained from clients, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (exception and daemon crash) via long fields, as demonstrated by fields to the (1) open_session->workstation->NAME or (2) grant->VERSION function.

Multiple buffer overflows in Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) 4.0 through 5.1+SP1+Upd1 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long serialid field in an _licensekey command, as demonstrated by the (1) check_licensekey or (2) read_licensekey command.
