Technical details

CVE-2026-64197 is an out-of-bounds write vulnerability (CWE-787) in DASYLab's DSB file parser. The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of user-supplied data in DSB files, resulting in a write past the end of an allocated data structure in heap memory. Exploitation requires a user to open a specially crafted DSB file—no authentication, network access, or elevated privileges are required. A successful attack allows arbitrary code execution in the context of the current process with user-level privileges. The vulnerability affects all DASYLab versions before 2026.0.0 (Build 65), and measX has released a patch in DASYLab 2026.0.0 (Build 65).
