Questions about CVE-2021-38406
What does this mean?
DOPSoft 2 does not properly validate user-supplied data when it parses certain project files. This causes out-of-bounds writes, which can lead to arbitrary code running in the context of the current process.Source: cisa.gov
Am I affected, and how do I check?
DOPSoft 2 version 2.00.07 and prior are affected. Check the installed DOPSoft 2 version against that range.Source: cisa.gov
What should I do about it?
The available data names no fixed version to upgrade to. Check Delta Electronics' channels for an updated release of DOPSoft 2 beyond 2.00.07.Source: cisa.gov
Is it being exploited?
Yes. CISA added it to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2022-08-25, which means it has evidence of attacks. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cisa.gov, cve.now feed data
What if there's no patch?
The data gives no workaround. Limit risk by not opening project files from untrusted or unknown sources, since the flaw is triggered when a specially crafted project file is parsed.Source: cisa.gov
