Delta Electronics DOPSoft 2 Stack-Based Buffer Overflow

CVE-2021-38402

Description

Delta Electronic DOPSoft 2 (Version 2.00.07 and prior) lacks proper validation of user-supplied data when parsing specific project files. This could lead to a stack-based buffer overflow while trying to copy to a buffer during font string handling. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.

AI Insight

LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.

A stack-based buffer overflow in Delta Electronic DOPSoft 2 versions up to 2.00.07 allows arbitrary code execution via crafted project files.

Vulnerability

Delta Electronic DOPSoft 2 versions up to 2.00.07 lack proper validation of user-supplied data when parsing specific project files. This leads to a stack-based buffer overflow during font string handling, as documented in CISA advisory [1].

Exploitation

An attacker would need to convince a user to open a specially crafted project file. No authentication is required, but user interaction (opening the file) is needed. The attack complexity is low [1].

Impact

Successful exploitation could allow arbitrary code execution in the context of the current process. The CVSS v3 base score is 7.8, with high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability [1].

Mitigation

Delta Electronics has released updates; users should upgrade to the latest version. References in CISA advisory [1] provide details. Until patched, avoid opening untrusted project files.
