Summary
RT-Labs AB SOEM before 2.0.1 uses length values from device responses without checking them against actual buffer sizes, which causes an out-of-bounds read (CWE-125). A malicious device on the adjacent network can send messages that make the master read beyond its buffer. The attacker needs no privileges or user interaction and can extract up to 64KB of the master's memory.

Description from the CNA
SOEM version 2.0.0 and earlier contains vulnerabilities where a malicious device can send messages that cause the master to read data from memory locations beyond the intended buffer. The software uses length values from device responses without validating them against actual buffer sizes. An attacker can exploit this to extract up to 64KB of data from the master's memory.
