Buffer overflow in RSEds.dll in RSHWare.exe in the EDS Hardware Installation Tool 1.0.5.1 and earlier in Rockwell Automation RSLinx Classic before 2.58 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a malformed .eds file.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A malicious EDS device description file could crash Rockwell Automation's EDS Hardware Installation Tool and may allow code execution. The attack requires a user to handle a malformed .eds file, so risk centers on engineering workstations and file intake practices rather than internet-exposed services. Exposure is likely limited to environments running affected Rockwell Automation RSLinx Classic or EDS Hardware Installation Tool versions, especially industrial engineering workstations that import vendor or device EDS files. Prioritize remediation on industrial engineering systems because compromise could disrupt configuration workflows and may allow code execution. Urgency is lower than a remotely exploitable internet-facing flaw because user interaction is required and active exploitation is not evidenced. Mitigation focus: Upgrade RSLinx Classic to version 2.58 or later where applicable.; Review Rockwell Automation guidance for supported remediation details.; Restrict EDS file import to trusted, verified sources..
