Vulnerability from csaf_siemens - Published: 2026-08-11 00:00 - Updated: 2026-08-11 00:00Summary
SSA-069220: Stack Overflow Vulnerability in Simcenter Nastran Before V2606
Notes
Summary: Simcenter Nastran is affected by a stack overflow vulnerability that could be triggered when an application binary reads arbitrary string as a file argument. If a user is tricked to run one of the impacted application binary with a malicious string, an attacker could leverage the vulnerability to perform remote code execution in the context of the current process.
Siemens has released a new version for Simcenter Nastran and recommends to update to the latest version.
General Recommendations: As a general security measure, Siemens strongly recommends to protect network access to devices with appropriate mechanisms. In order to operate the devices in a protected IT environment, Siemens recommends to configure the environment according to Siemens' operational guidelines for Industrial Security (Download: https://www.siemens.com/cert/operational-guidelines-industrial-security), and to follow the recommendations in the product manuals.
