Delta Electronics CNCSoft-B DPA File Parsing Stack-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability [CVE-2024-1941]

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Delta Electronics CNCSoft-B.

User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.

The specific flaw exists within the processing of DPA files in the DOPSoft executable.

The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a stack-based buffer.

An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
