CVE-2022-39136
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 JT2Go (All versions < V14.1.0.4), Teamcenter Visualization V13.2 (All versions < V13.2.0.12), Teamcenter Visualization V13.3 (All versions < V13.3.0.7), Teamcenter Visualization V13.3 (All versions >= V13.3.0.7 < V13.3.0.8), Teamcenter Visualization V14.0 (All versions < V14.0.0.3), Teamcenter Visualization V14.1 (All versions < V14.1.0.4). The affected application is vulnerable to fixed-length heap-based buffer while parsing specially crafted TIF files. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
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 confidenceA heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the TIF file parsing functionality of JT2Go and Teamcenter Visualization applications. The vulnerability is triggered when parsing specially crafted TIF files with fixed-length buffers, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.

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 productCheck if Siemens JT2Go or Teamcenter Visualization is installed. Look for executable files such as JT2Go.exe (typically in C:\Program Files\Siemens\JT2Go\) or Teamcenter Visualization binaries.Affected if Either product is installed
-
Determine JT2Go versionIf JT2Go is installed, right-click JT2Go.exe, select Properties, then go to the Details tab to view the File Version. Alternatively, run the application and check Help > About.Affected if Version is lower than 14.1.0.4
-
Determine Teamcenter Visualization versionIf Teamcenter Visualization is installed, check the executable version (such as Visualization.exe or associated DLLs) via Properties > Details, or check the installation directory for version information.Affected if Version is 13.3.0.7 or lower, OR between 14.0.0.0 and 14.0.0.2, OR between 14.1.0.0 and 14.1.0.3
-
Verify TIF file handling capabilityCheck if the application can open or preview TIF files. Attempt to open a TIF file in the affected product, or check file association settings for .tif/.tiff extensions.Affected if The application can parse TIF files and the version is within the affected ranges
The environment is affected if either JT2Go version is below 14.1.0.4 or Teamcenter Visualization matches the affected version ranges AND the application is used to process TIF files.

dbcve · scoped14.0.0.314.1.0.4
Update JT2Go to version V14.1.0.4 or later, and update Teamcenter Visualization to the patched versions (V13.2.0.12, V13.3.0.8, V14.0.0.3, or V14.1.0.4 depending on the release line).
Jt2go: 14.1.0.4+ | Teamcenter Visualization: 13.2.0.12+, 13.3.0.8+, 14.0.0.3+, or 14.1.0.4+ depending on current branch
