RSLinx EDS File Remote Stack Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

RSLinx is prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input.

Successful exploits may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. Failed exploit attempts will likely cause denial-of-service conditions.

RSLinx Lite 2.31.00 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
