In SAP PowerDesigner (Proxy) - version 16.7, an attacker can send a crafted request from a remote host to the proxy machine and crash the proxy server, due to faulty implementation of memory management causing a memory corruption. This leads to a high impact on availability of the application.

SAP PowerDesigner Proxy - version 16.7, allows an attacker with low privileges and has local access, with the ability to work around system’s root disk access restrictions to Write/Create a program file on system disk root path, which could then be executed with elevated privileges of the application during application start up or reboot, potentially compromising Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability of the system.
