Summary
RT-Labs AB SOEM versions before 2.0.1 contain multiple out-of-bounds read flaws in frame processing (CWE-125). The software uses length and offset values from device messages without checking them against buffer sizes. A malicious device on an adjacent network can make the master read invalid memory, which can disclose sensitive information or crash the master.

Description from the CNA
SOEM version 2.0.0 and earlier contains multiple vulnerabilities in frame processing where a malicious device can cause the master to read data outside allocated buffers. The software uses length and offset values from device messages without validating them against buffer sizes. This can cause the master to access invalid memory locations, potentially disclosing sensitive information or causing crashes.
