Siemens Tecnomatix Plant Simulation Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Siemens Tecnomatix Plant Simulation is an industrial control device from Siemens, Germany, that uses discrete-event simulation to analyze and optimize throughput and thereby improve manufacturing system performance. Siemens Tecnomatix Plant Simulation suffers from a buffer overflow vulnerability that stems from a susceptibility to memory corruption when parsing specially crafted SPP files. An attacker can exploit the vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
