Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could result in information disclosure or remote code execution on affected installation.
The following versions of Panasonic Control FPWIN, are affected:
3.2.1 STACK-BASED BUFFER OVERFLOW CWE-121
In Panasonic Control FPWIN versions 7.6.0.3 and prior, a stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or a parameter to a function).
CVE-2023-28728 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 ACCESS OF RESOURCE USING INCOMPATIBLE TYPE (‘TYPE CONFUSION’) CWE-843
Panasonic Control FPWIN versions 7.6.0.3 and prior allocates or initializes a resource such as a pointer, object, or variable using one type, but later accesses that resource using a type that is incompatible with the original type.
CVE-2023-28729 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 IMPROPER RESTRICTION OF OPERATIONS WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF A MEMORY BUFFER CWE-119
Panasonic Control FPWIN performs operations on a memory buffer, but can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer.
CVE-2023-28730 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).
