Information disclosure or code execution via stack overflow
Published Oct 18, 2023 · Updated Sep 13, 2024
A stack-based buffer overflow in National Instruments System Configuration 2023 Q3 and earlier allows remote attackers to disclose information or execute code. The flaw occurs when NI System Configuration processes a specially crafted response; the advisory does not identify the vulnerable function or parser operation. Exploitation requires delivering that response to a Windows installation, and successful attacks can expose memory or achieve arbitrary code execution.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=0 <=23.5
- Affected versionversion=0 <=23.5.*
