Executive Summary

This vulnerability is an out of bounds read in NI LabVIEW's LVResource::DetachResource() function when it parses a corrupted VI file. It occurs because the software reads data outside the intended memory bounds, which can lead to unintended behavior. Exploiting this requires an attacker to trick a user into opening a specially crafted VI file. The impact of this vulnerability can include information disclosure or arbitrary code execution.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, avoid opening specially crafted VI files from untrusted sources. Ensure users are aware not to open suspicious VI files. Update NI LabVIEW to a version later than 2025 Q3 (25.3) once a patch or fix is available from the vendor.
