Summary
SSA-997732: Modfem File Parsing Vulnerability in Simcenter Femap before V2021.2

Notes

Summary
Siemens Simcenter Femap is affected by a vulnerability that could be triggered when the application reads modfem files. If a user is tricked to open a malicious file with the affected application, an attacker could leverage this vulnerability to leak information in the context of the current process. Siemens recommends to update to the latest version line of Simcenter Femap (2021.2), which is not affected by this type of vulnerabilities. Siemens recommends to avoid opening of untrusted files from unknown sources.
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.
