Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the CJDB_FILL_MEMORY_FROM_PPB function in the Project System (PS-IS) module for SAP ERP Central Component (ECC) allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a (1) RFC or (2) SOAP-RFC request.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

This vulnerability exists in the CJDB_FILL_MEMORY_FROM_PPB function within SAP ECC's Project System (PS-IS) module. Attackers can exploit unspecified flaws by sending malicious RFC or SOAP-RFC requests, enabling remote arbitrary code execution on the SAP system.

MitigationApply the relevant SAP Security Note patch for this vulnerability and implement network segmentation/access controls to restrict RFC and SOAP-RFC endpoint exposure.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify SAP ECC PS-IS module installation
    Check if the Project System (PS-IS) module is installed in your SAP system by reviewing the installed software components via SAP transaction SE16 or by querying table CVERS_SUBTMP for component 'PS-IS'
    Affected if The PS-IS module is installed and active in the SAP system
  2. Confirm RFC endpoint exposure
    Check if RFC and SOAP-RFC interfaces are enabled and accessible by reviewing SAP transaction SM59 for RFC destinations and checking for externally exposed SOAP-RFC endpoints in transaction SOAMANAGER
    Affected if RFC or SOAP-RFC endpoints are configured and reachable from network locations where attackers could send malicious requests
  3. Identify the CJDB_FILL_MEMORY_FROM_PPB function
    Search for the function module CJDB_FILL_MEMORY_FROM_PPB in your system using SAP transaction SE37 or by querying table TFDIR
    Affected if The CJDB_FILL_MEMORY_FROM_PPB function module exists in the system, indicating the vulnerable code is present
  4. Review RFC access control configuration
    Examine SAP ACL configurations for RFC destinations using transaction SM59 and verify the security settings in table RFCDES and the ACL files (saprfc.ini) for allowed external callers
    Affected if RFC endpoints lack proper ACL restrictions or allow unrestricted external access
  5. Check for related security notes
    Review installed SAP Security Notes using transaction SNOTE or by querying table SNOTEEVT for notes related to CVE-2013-3244 or function CJDB_FILL_MEMORY_FROM_PPB
    Affected if No relevant SAP Security Note patch has been applied to address this vulnerability

Your environment is affected if SAP ECC with PS-IS module is installed, RFC or SOAP-RFC endpoints are exposed externally or to untrusted networks, and the CJDB_FILL_MEMORY_FROM_PPB function exists without the corresponding security patch applied.
