CVE-2024-32636
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 < V2312.0005), Teamcenter Visualization V14.2 (All versions < V14.2.0.12), Teamcenter Visualization V14.3 (All versions < V14.3.0.10), Teamcenter Visualization V2312 (All versions < V2312.0005). The affected applications contain an out of bounds read past the end of an allocated structure while parsing specially crafted X_T files. This could allow an attacker 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 confidenceOut-of-bounds read vulnerability in JT2Go and Teamcenter Visualization applications when parsing X_T files. The parser reads past the end of an allocated memory structure, leading to memory corruption that could allow arbitrary code execution 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.
-
Check if JT2Go is installedLook for JT2Go installation directory or check Windows Programs and Features for 'Siemens JT2Go' entry. Use registry key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{ProductCode} or check C:\Program Files\Siemens\JT2Go if present.Affected if JT2Go is installed with version >= 2312.0 and < 2312.0005
-
Check if Teamcenter Visualization is installedLook for Teamcenter Visualization installation, typically under C:\Program Files\Siemens\Teamcenter<version>\Visualization or check Windows Programs and Features for 'Siemens Teamcenter Visualization' entry.Affected if Teamcenter Visualization is installed with version >= 14.2.0 and < 14.2.0.12, or >= 14.3.0 and < 14.3.0.10, or >= 2312.0 and < 2312.0005
-
Determine installed version of JT2GoOpen JT2Go and go to Help > About, or check the version in the executable properties (right-click JT2Go.exe > Properties > Details). The version string format is like 2312.0004.Affected if Version starts with 2312.0 but is less than 2312.0005 (for example, 2312.0004)
-
Determine installed version of Teamcenter VisualizationCheck the version from the installation directory or from Programs and Features. The version may be displayed as V14.2.0.11, V14.3.0.9, or V2312.0004 for affected versions.Affected if Version is 14.2.0.x where x < 12, or 14.3.0.x where x < 10, or 2312.0xxx where xxx < 0005
-
Check if X_T file parser is usedThe vulnerability triggers when opening X_T files in JT2Go or Teamcenter Visualization. There is no separate configuration to disable this parser; it is a built-in feature of these applications.Affected if Users open or process X_T files using the affected software versions
You are affected if JT2Go version is 2312.0 to 2312.0004, or Teamcenter Visualization is version 14.2.0.0 to 14.2.0.11, 14.3.0.0 to 14.3.0.9, or 2312.0 to 2312.0004, and you open X_T files with these applications.

Apply vendor patches: update JT2Go and Teamcenter Visualization V2312 to V2312.0005, V14.2 to V14.2.0.12, and V14.3 to V14.3.0.10. Avoid opening untrusted X_T files until patches are applied.
Jt2go: V2312.0005 | Teamcenter Visualization V14.2: V14.2.0.12 | Teamcenter Visualization V14.3: V14.3.0.10 | Teamcenter Visualization V2312: V2312.0005 | Parasolid: V35.1.256, V36.0.208, or V36.1.173
- 1. Identify the affected product and current version installed (Jt2go, Parasolid, or Teamcenter Visualization)
- 2. For Jt2go: upgrade to version 2312.0005 or later
- 3. For Teamcenter Visualization V14.2: upgrade to version 14.2.0.12 or later
- 4. For Teamcenter Visualization V14.3: upgrade to version 14.3.0.10 or later
- 5. For Teamcenter Visualization V2312: upgrade to version 2312.0005 or later
- 6. For Parasolid: if using version 35.1.x, upgrade to 35.1.256 or later; if using 36.0.x, upgrade to 36.0.208 or later; if using 36.1.x, upgrade to 36.1.173 or later
- 7. After upgrading, verify the X_T file parser handles files correctly and does not exhibit the out-of-bounds read behavior
