LAquis SCADA LQS File Parsing Untrusted Pointer Dereference Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of LAquis SCADA Software. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within parsing of LQS files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied value prior to dereferencing it as a pointer.
