Out-of-Bounds Write in NI LabVIEW Allows Code Execution

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability can lead to serious impacts including information disclosure, where sensitive data may be exposed to unauthorized parties.

Additionally, it can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code, potentially taking control of the affected system or causing it to behave unpredictably.

Exploitation requires tricking a user into opening a maliciously crafted VI file, which means social engineering or targeted attacks could be used.
