The OPC autogenerated ANSI C stack stubs (in the NodeSets) do not handle all error cases. This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference.

A vulnerability has been identified in OpenPCS 7 V8.2 (All versions), OpenPCS 7 V9.0 (All versions < V9.0 Upd4), OpenPCS 7 V9.1 (All versions), SIMATIC BATCH V8.2 (All versions), SIMATIC BATCH V9.0 (All versions), SIMATIC BATCH V9.1 (All versions), SIMATIC NET PC Software V14 (All versions), SIMATIC NET PC Software V15 (All versions), SIMATIC NET PC Software V16 (All versions < V16 Update 6), SIMATIC NET PC Software V17 (All versions < V17 SP1), SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.2 (All versions), SIMATIC PCS 7 V9.0 (All versions < V9.0 SP3 UC04), SIMATIC PCS 7 V9.1 (All versions < V9.1 SP1), SIMATIC Route Control V8.2 (All versions), SIMATIC Route Control V9.0 (All versions), SIMATIC Route Control V9.1 (All versions), SIMATIC WinCC V15 and earlier (All versions < V15 SP1 Update 7), SIMATIC WinCC V16 (All versions < V16 Update 5), SIMATIC WinCC V17 (All versions < V17 Update 2), SIMATIC WinCC V7.4 (All versions < V7.4 SP1 Update 19), SIMATIC WinCC V7.5 (All versions < V7.5 SP2 Update 5). When downloading files, the affected systems do not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname. An attacker could then cause the pathname to resolve to a location outside of the restricted directory on the server and read unexpected critical files.

In OPC Foundation Local Discovery Server (LDS) before 1.04.402.463, remote attackers can cause a denial of service (DoS) by sending carefully crafted messages that lead to Access of a Memory Location After the End of a Buffer.

A vulnerability has been identified in SIMATIC Automation Tool (All versions < V4 SP2), SIMATIC NET PC Software V14 (All versions < V14 SP1 Update 14), SIMATIC NET PC Software V15 (All versions), SIMATIC NET PC Software V16 (All versions < V16 Upd3), SIMATIC PCS neo (All versions < V3.0 SP1), SIMATIC ProSave (All versions < V17), SIMATIC S7-1500 Software Controller (All versions < V21.8), SIMATIC STEP 7 (TIA Portal) V13 (All versions < V13 SP2 Update 4), SIMATIC STEP 7 (TIA Portal) V14 (All versions < V14 SP1 Update 10), SIMATIC STEP 7 (TIA Portal) V15 (All versions < V15.1 Update 5), SIMATIC STEP 7 (TIA Portal) V16 (All versions < V16 Update 2), SIMATIC STEP 7 V5 (All versions < V5.6 SP2 HF3), SIMATIC WinCC OA V3.16 (All versions < V3.16 P018), SIMATIC WinCC OA V3.17 (All versions < V3.17 P003), SIMATIC WinCC Runtime Advanced (All versions < V16 Update 2), SIMATIC WinCC Runtime Professional V13 (All versions < V13 SP2 Update 4), SIMATIC WinCC Runtime Professional V14 (All versions < V14 SP1 Update 10), SIMATIC WinCC Runtime Professional V15 (All versions < V15.1 Update 5), SIMATIC WinCC Runtime Professional V16 (All versions < V16 Update 2), SIMATIC WinCC V7.4 (All versions < V7.4 SP1 Update 14), SIMATIC WinCC V7.5 (All versions < V7.5 SP1 Update 3), SINAMICS STARTER (All Versions < V5.4 HF2), SINAMICS Startdrive (All Versions < V16 Update 3), SINEC NMS (All versions < V1.0 SP2), SINEMA Server (All versions < V14 SP3), SINUMERIK ONE virtual (All Versions < V6.14), SINUMERIK Operate (All Versions < V6.14). A common component used by the affected applications regularly calls a helper binary with SYSTEM privileges while the call path is not quoted. This could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code with SYTEM privileges.

A vulnerability has been identified in OpenPCS 7 V8.1 (All versions), OpenPCS 7 V8.2 (All versions), OpenPCS 7 V9.0 (All versions < V9.0 Upd3), SIMATIC BATCH V8.1 (All versions), SIMATIC BATCH V8.2 (All versions < V8.2 Upd12), SIMATIC BATCH V9.0 (All versions < V9.0 SP1 Upd5), SIMATIC NET PC Software V14 (All versions < V14 SP1 Update 14), SIMATIC NET PC Software V15 (All versions), SIMATIC NET PC Software V16 (All versions < V16 Update 1), SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.1 (All versions), SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.2 (All versions), SIMATIC PCS 7 V9.0 (All versions < V9.0 SP3), SIMATIC Route Control V8.1 (All versions), SIMATIC Route Control V8.2 (All versions), SIMATIC Route Control V9.0 (All versions < V9.0 Upd4), SIMATIC WinCC (TIA Portal) V13 (All versions < V13 SP2), SIMATIC WinCC (TIA Portal) V14 (All versions < V14 SP1 Update 10), SIMATIC WinCC (TIA Portal) V15.1 (All versions < V15.1 Update 5), SIMATIC WinCC (TIA Portal) V16 (All versions < V16 Update 1), SIMATIC WinCC V7.3 (All versions), SIMATIC WinCC V7.4 (All versions < V7.4 SP1 Update 14), SIMATIC WinCC V7.5 (All versions < V7.5 SP1 Update 1). Through specially crafted messages, when encrypted communication is enabled, an attacker with network access could use the vulnerability to compromise the availability of the system by causing a Denial-of-Service condition. Successful exploitation requires no system privileges and no user interaction.
