Summary
RT-Labs SOEM before 2.0.1 mishandles multi-segment CoE SDO upload data transfers, a flaw classified as CWE-120. The software checks the total size only once at the start and does not track the cumulative size as segments arrive. A malicious device can declare a small initial size to pass validation, then send additional segments that write controlled data past the buffer, potentially enabling code execution.

Description from the CNA
SOEM version 2.0.0 and earlier contains a vulnerability in multi-segment data transfers where a malicious device can overflow memory buffers. The software checks the total size only once at the beginning, but doesn't track the cumulative size as multiple segments arrive. An attacker can declare a small initial size to pass validation, then send additional segments that exceed the allocated buffer. This allows the attacker to write controlled data beyond buffer boundaries, potentially enabling code execution.
