3. TECHNICAL DETAILS

3.1 AFFECTED PRODUCTS

The following Siemens products are affected:

• JT2Go: All versions prior to v13.2.0.1
• Teamcenter Visualization: All versions prior to v13.2.0.1

3.2 VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW

3.2.1 USE AFTER FREE CWE-416

A use-after-free issue exists in the DGN file-reading procedure in the Open Design Alliance Drawings SDK, all versions prior to 2022.4, resulting from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data. This can result in a memory corruption or arbitrary code execution, allowing attackers to cause a denial-of-service condition or execute code in the context of the current process.

CVE-2021-32944 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

3.2.2 OUT-OF-BOUNDS WRITE CWE-787

An out-of-bounds write issue exists in the DXF file-recovering procedure in the Open Design Alliance Drawings SDK, all versions prior to 2022.4, resulting from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data. This can result in a write past the end of an allocated buffer and allow attackers to cause a denial-of-service condition or execute code in the context of the current process.

CVE-2021-32936 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

3.2.3 OUT-OF-BOUNDS WRITE CWE-787

An out-of-bounds write issue exists in the DWG file-recovering procedure in the Open Design Alliance Drawings SDK, all versions prior to 2022.4, resulting from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data. This can result in a write past the end of an allocated buffer and allow attackers to cause a denial-of-service condition or execute code in the context of the current process.

CVE-2021-32948 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

3.2.4 OUT-OF-BOUNDS READ CWE-125

Open Design Alliance Drawings SDK, all versions prior to 2022.4, are vulnerable to an out-of-bounds read due to parsing of DWG files resulting from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data. This can result in a read past the end of an allocated buffer and allows attackers to cause a denial-of-service condition or read sensitive information from memory.

CVE-2021-32938 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.1 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H).

3.2.5 OUT-OF-BOUNDS READ CWE-125

An out-of-bounds read issue exists in the DWG file-recovering procedure in the Open Design Alliance Drawings SDK, all versions prior to 2022.4, resulting from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data. This can result in a read past the end of an allocated buffer and allow attackers to cause a denial-of-service condition or read sensitive information from memory.

CVE-2021-32940 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.1 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H).

3.2.6 OUT-OF-BOUNDS READ CWE-125

An out-of-bounds read issue exists in the DXF files in the Open Design Alliance Drawings SDK, all versions prior to 2022.4, resulting from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data. This can result in a read past the end of an allocated buffer and allow attackers to cause a denial-of-service condition or read sensitive information from memory.

CVE-2021-32950 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.1 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H).

3.2.7 NULL POINTER DEREFERENCE CWE-476

When parsing specially crafted CGM files, a NULL pointer dereference condition could cause the application to crash. The application must be restarted to restore the service. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial-of-service condition in the application.

CVE-2021-33717 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 5.5 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
