• DIAScreen: versions prior to v1.5.0

3.2 Vulnerability Overview

3.2.1 Stack-based Buffer Overflow CWE-121

If an attacker tricks a valid user into running Delta Electronics DIAScreen with a file containing malicious code, a stack-based buffer overflow in BACnetObjectInfo can be exploited, allowing the attacker to remotely execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2024-47131 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

A CVSS v4 score has also been calculated for CVE-2024-47131. A base score of 8.4 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N).

3.2.2 Stack-based Buffer Overflow CWE-121

If an attacker tricks a valid user into running Delta Electronics DIAScreen with a file containing malicious code, a stack-based buffer overflow in BACnetParameter can be exploited, allowing the attacker to remotely execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2024-39605 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

A CVSS v4 score has also been calculated for CVE-2024-39605. A base score of 8.4 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N).

3.2.3 Stack-based Buffer Overflow CWE-121

If an attacker tricks a valid user into running Delta Electronics DIAScreen with a file containing malicious code, a stack-based buffer overflow in CEtherIPTagItem can be exploited, allowing the attacker to remotely execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2024-39354 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

A CVSS v4 score has also been calculated for CVE-2024-39354. A base score of 8.4 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N).
