CVE-2014-9200
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 · uneditedStack-based buffer overflow in an unspecified DLL file in a DTM development kit in Schneider Electric Unity Pro, SoMachine, SoMove, SoMove Lite, Modbus Communication Library 2.2.6 and earlier, CANopen Communication Library 1.0.2 and earlier, EtherNet/IP Communication Library 1.0.0 and earlier, EM X80 Gateway DTM (MB TCP/SL), Advantys DTM for OTB, Advantys DTM for STB, KINOS DTM, SOLO DTM, and Xantrex DTMs allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.
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 confidenceStack-based buffer overflow in an unspecified DLL file within DTM (Device Type Manager) development kit components used across multiple Schneider Electric industrial automation software products, including Unity Pro, SoMachine, SoMove, and various communication libraries (Modbus, CANopen, EtherNet/IP). The vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.

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 Schneider Electric industrial softwareCheck for presence of Unity Pro, SoMachine, SoMove, or SoMove Lite on the system by reviewing installed programs in Add/Remove Programs or Program Files directoryAffected if Any of these four products are installed on the system
-
Locate DTM development kit componentsSearch for directories or files related to DTM (Device Type Manager) in the product installation folders, typically found under the main product installation directoryAffected if DTM folders or DTM-related files are present alongside the affected product installation
-
Identify running industrial communication servicesReview running Windows services or processes related to Modbus, CANopen, or EtherNet/IP communication libraries that may leverage the DTM componentAffected if Industrial communication services or drivers for Modbus, CANopen, or EtherNet/IP are active
-
Check for exposed network servicesUse netstat or similar tools to identify listening ports on the system that may be accepting connections for industrial protocol communicationsAffected if Ports associated with Modbus (502), EtherNet/IP (44818), or other industrial protocols are open and listening
A system is affected if any of the four products (Unity Pro, SoMachine, SoMove, SoMove Lite) are installed and the DTM development kit components are present, regardless of version since all versions are vulnerable.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply vendor-supplied patches or updates from Schneider Electric for all affected products. If no patch is available, implement network segmentation and access controls to limit exposure of affected systems to untrusted networks, as the attack vector is remote and exploitable.
