CVE-2014-9192
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 · uneditedInteger overflow in Trihedral Engineering VTScada (formerly VTS) 6.5 through 9.x before 9.1.20, 10.x before 10.2.22, and 11.x before 11.1.07 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (server crash) via a crafted request, which triggers a large memory allocation.
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 · high confidenceInteger overflow in Trihedral Engineering VTScada allows remote attackers to cause denial of service via crafted requests that trigger excessive memory allocation, crashing the server.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed VTScada versionLocate the VTScada installation directory and check the version information, typically found in the application properties, About dialog, or version file within the program directory. Compare against the affected ranges: 6.5 to <9.1.20, 10.0 to <10.2.22, or 11.0 to <11.1.07.Affected if The installed version falls within any of the three affected version ranges.
-
Confirm VTScada server is runningCheck if the VTScada application server process is active. This may be visible in Task Manager, via command line tools, or through the VTScada service management interface.Affected if The server is running and accessible to network requests.
-
Verify network exposure of VTScada web interfaceDetermine if the VTScada server is bound to network interfaces accessible from outside localhost. Check network configuration, firewall rules, or binding settings in the VTScada configuration.Affected if The VTScada server is listening on public or unrestrictable network interfaces.
-
Review recent server crash logsExamine VTScada event logs, application logs, or system event logs for any unexpected crashes or memory allocation failures, particularly around the time of unusual or suspected crafted requests.Affected if The server has experienced unexplained crashes or memory exhaustion events.
A user is affected if VTScada is running a version within the ranges 6.5 to <9.1.20, 10.0 to <10.2.22, or 11.0 to <11.1.07 and the server component is exposed to network requests.
