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 · unedited
In AzeoTech DAQFactory release 20.7 (Build 2555), an out-of-bounds write vulnerability can be exploited by an attacker to cause the program to write data past the end of an allocated memory buffer. This can lead to arbitrary code execution or a system 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 analysis · moderate confidence

An out-of-bounds write vulnerability in AzeoTech DAQFactory release 20.7 (Build 2555) allows an attacker to write data past the end of an allocated memory buffer, potentially achieving arbitrary code execution or causing a system crash.

MitigationApply vendor-provided patches when available; if no patch exists, minimize network exposure of affected systems and implement network segmentation to limit attack surface.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify DAQFactory installation
    Check for AzeoTech DAQFactory in the program files directory (typically C:\Program Files\AzeoTech\DAQFactory or C:\Program Files (x86)\AzeoTech\DAQFactory) or look for the application in Add/Remove Programs
    Affected if DAQFactory is installed on the system
  2. Identify installed DAQFactory version
    Open DAQFactory and go to Help > About, or check the version information of the executable file (DAQFactory.exe) by right-clicking and selecting Properties > Details
    Affected if The version displayed is 20.7 or any version prior to 21.1
  3. Confirm build number
    In the About dialog, note the Build number displayed alongside the version. The vulnerability affects Build 2555 and earlier.
    Affected if Build number is 2555 or lower
  4. Check for patch availability
    Visit the vendor's official website or release notes to verify if version 21.1 or later is available for download
    Affected if Version 21.1 or later is not installed and no corresponding patch has been applied

The system is affected if AzeoTech DAQFactory is installed with any version prior to 21.1 (including release 20.7 build 2555), as the out-of-bounds write vulnerability exists in the vulnerable code path of these versions.
