The affected applications contain an out of bounds read vulnerability. This could allow an attacker to cause a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) crash of the underlying Windows kernel. S7 PCT (Port Configuration Tool) is a PC-based software for parameterizing Siemens IO-Link master modules and third-party IO-Link devices. Security Configuration Tool (SCT) is an engineering software for safety devices such as SCALANCE-S or CP 443-1Advanced. SIMATIC Automation Tool allows commissioning, adjustment and service in combination with S7-1200 and S7-1500 controllers without an engineering framework. SIMATIC NET PC software is a separately sold software product for implementing communication products for SIMATIC.NET. SIMATIC PCS 7 is a distributed control system (DCS) that integrates SIMATIC WinCC, SIMATIC Batch, SIMATIC Route control, OpenPCS 7 and other components. SIMATIC PDM (Process Device Manager) is a universal, manufacturer-independent tool for configuration, parameter assignment, commissioning, diagnostics and maintenance of intelligent process devices (actuators, sensors) and automation components (remote I/O, multiplexers, process control units, compact controllers). SIMATIC STEP 7 V5 is the classic engineering software for configuring and programming SIMATIC S7-300/S7-400/C7/WinAC controllers. SIMATIC WinCC is a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. SIMATIC WinCC Open Architecture (OA) is part of the SIMATIC HMI family. It is designed for applications that require a high degree of customer-specific adaptability, large or complex applications, and projects that impose specific system requirements or functions. SIMATIC WinCC Runtime Advanced is a visualization runtime platform for operator control and monitoring of machines and plants. SIMATIC WinCC Runtime Professional is a visualization runtime platform for operator control and monitoring of machines and plants. SIMATIC WinCC Unified PC Runtime is a new visualization runtime platform for operator control and monitoring of machines and plants. SINAMICS Startdrive commissioning software is the engineering tool for integrating SINAMICS drives in the TIA Portal. SINUMERIK CNC provides automation solutions for workshops, shop floors and large serial production environments. SINUMERIK ONE is a digital native CNC system. Totally Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal) is a PC software that provides the complete range of Siemens digital automation services, from digital planning and integrated engineering to transparent operation. TIA Portal Cloud Connector enables access to local PG/PC interfaces and connected SIMATIC hardware from TIA Portal Engineering when engineering via remote desktop on a private cloud server
