Description

The Eaton Foreseer software provides multiple customizable input fields for the users to configure parameters in the tool like alarms, reports, etc. Some of these input fields were not checking the length and bounds of the entered value. The exploit of this security flaw by a bad actor may result in excessive memory consumption or integer overflow.

• CWE-190Integer Overflow or WraparoundThe product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. When this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number.
• CWE-1284Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in InputThe product receives input that is expected to specify a quantity (such as size or length), but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the quantity has the required properties.
