CVE-2024-23797

Code execution via WRL parser stack overflow

Published Feb 13, 2024 · Updated Aug 16, 2024

Stack overflow in Tecnomatix Plant Simulation V2201 before V2201.0012 and V2302 before V2302.0006 allows attackers to execute code. The WRL parser overflows a stack-based buffer while processing a specially crafted file instead of enforcing memory bounds. Exploitation requires a user to open the malicious file and can crash the application or run code with the current process's privileges.
