V-SFT and TELLUS: Out-of-bounds Read
CVE-2022-46360 is a high-severity out-of-bounds read vulnerability in V-SFT and TELLUS from FUJI ELECTRIC CO., LTD. and Hakko Electronics, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 out of 10. It can be exploited with local access to the system by an unauthenticated attacker, but only if a user takes part, for example by opening a link or file. Affected V-SFT and TELLUS versions: V-SFT v6.1.7.0 and earlier, and TELLUS v4.0.12.0 and earlier. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.25% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update Tellus to 4.0.15.0 or a later version.
- Update V-sft to 6.1.8.0 or a later version.
- Read the advisory on monitouch.fujielectric.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
- Because the attack needs a user to take part, warn users about unexpected links and files related to this product until it is patched.
