CVE-2022-24290
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 · uneditedA vulnerability has been identified in Teamcenter V12.4 (All versions < V12.4.0.13), Teamcenter V13.0 (All versions < V13.0.0.9), Teamcenter V13.1 (All versions), Teamcenter V13.2 (All versions < V13.2.0.8), Teamcenter V13.3 (All versions < V13.3.0.3), Teamcenter V14.0 (All versions < V14.0.0.2). The tcserver.exe binary in affected applications is vulnerable to a stack overflow condition during the parsing of user input that may lead the binary to crash.
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 analysisData overflows a fixed-size buffer allocated on the stack, overwriting adjacent stack memory — including saved return addresses — which is the classic route to redirecting execution into attacker-supplied code. Crafted input is all it takes. Remediation is strict length checks, safe bounded string and memory functions, and modern stack-protection mitigations.

Upgrade to the minimum fixed version for your branch: V12.4 branch to >=12.4.0.13; V13.0 branch to >=13.0.0.9; V13.1 branch to >=13.1.0.9; V13.2 branch to >=13.2.0.8
- 1. Identify the currently installed Teamcenter version using the application's version information or system inventory.
- 2. Determine which version branch your installation belongs to (V12.4, V13.0, V13.1, or V13.2).
- 3. Obtain the appropriate patched installation media for your version branch from the official Siemens Teamcenter distribution channels.
- 4. Schedule a maintenance window and create a full backup of the Teamcenter database and file system.
- 5. Apply the upgrade following Siemens standard Teamcenter upgrade procedures, ensuring the tcserver.exe component is updated.
- 6. After upgrade, verify the new version matches the target fixed release (e.g., 12.4.0.13 or higher for V12.4 branch).
- 7. Restart the Teamcenter services and validate that the tcserver.exe process runs normally.
