Description:
Eyal Udassin has reported a vulnerability in Proficy HMI/SCADA - CIMPLICITY, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in w32rtr.exe when processing packets and can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow by sending a specially-crafted packet to default port 32000/TCP.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
