Heap-based buffer overflow in the Siemens WinCC Runtime Advanced Loader, as used in SIMATIC WinCC flexible Runtime and SIMATIC WinCC (TIA Portal) Runtime Advanced, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted packet to TCP port 2308.

Siemens Simatic WinCC and PCS 7 SCADA system uses a hard-coded password, which allows local users to access a back-end database and gain privileges, as demonstrated in the wild in July 2010 by the Stuxnet worm, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-2568.
