Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 Heap-based Buffer Overflow (CVE-2025-3277)

high Tenable OT Security Plugin ID 504201

Synopsis

The remote OT asset is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

An integer overflow can be triggered in SQLite's 'concat_ws()' function. The resulting, truncated integer is then used to allocate a buffer. When SQLite then writes the resulting string to the buffer, it uses the original, untruncated size and thus a wild Heap Buffer overflow of size 4GB can be triggered. This can result in arbitrary code execution.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
