Technical details

An Access of Uninitialized Pointer (CWE-824) vulnerability exists in AzeoTech DAQFactory release 20.7 (Build 2555) and earlier. The flaw is triggered when the application attempts to access a pointer that has not been properly initialized during the parsing of a .ctl document. An attacker can exploit this by providing a malicious file to a user; upon opening the file, the application may execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process. This vulnerability requires user interaction (opening a file) and is addressed in DAQFactory Release 21.1.
