Siemens Security Slip-Up: Massive Vulnerabilities Plague Simcenter Femap

Siemens Simcenter Femap users, beware! Vulnerabilities like out-of-bounds reads and writes, type confusion, and stack-based buffer overflows could let attackers execute code in the current process. Update to V2406 or later, and for goodness’ sake, stop opening shady IGS, BDF, or BMP files. Stay safe…

Hot Take:

Well, Siemens’ Simcenter Femap just got a whole lot more exciting! It’s like someone turned the vulnerability dial to 11. It’s raining CVEs, and CISA is apparently too busy to bring an umbrella. Time to update your software and maybe go back to reading physical books, just to be safe.

Key Points:

– CISA will no longer update ICS security advisories for Siemens product vulnerabilities beyond the initial advisory.
– Siemens’ Simcenter Femap has multiple vulnerabilities, primarily involving out-of-bounds reads and writes.
– All affected versions are prior to V2406.
– Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute code in the context of the current process.
– Siemens recommends updating to the latest version and employing additional security measures.
