Technical details

A vulnerability exists in Siemens Solid Edge SE2026 (versions prior to V226.0 Update 5) due to the access of an uninitialized pointer (CWE-824) during the parsing of PAR files. The attack vector is local, requiring a user to open a maliciously crafted file (User Interaction required). Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process or cause a denial-of-service (crash). Siemens has addressed this in Solid Edge SE2026 V226.0 Update 5.
