CVE-2014-0789: Schneider Electric OPC Factory Server Buffer Overflow

Multiple buffer overflows in the OPC Automation 2.0 Server Object ActiveX control in Schneider Electric OPC Factory Server (OFS) TLXCDSUOFS33 3.5 and earlier, TLXCDSTOFS33 3.5 and earlier, TLXCDLUOFS33 3.5 and earlier, TLXCDLTOFS33 3.5 and earlier, and TLXCDLFOFS33 3.5 and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service via long arguments to unspecified functions.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affects older Schneider Electric OPC Factory Server installations. A remote attacker could crash or disrupt the OPC service by sending overly long inputs to the affected ActiveX control. The published impact is availability loss, not data theft or system takeover. Exposure is most likely in OT environments still running Schneider Electric OPC Factory Server 3.5 or earlier, especially where OPC-related services are reachable from broader plant, enterprise, or remote-access networks. Treat as a moderate OT availability risk. It deserves remediation planning where affected OFS servers support production operations, but the supplied evidence does not justify emergency escalation based on active exploitation or confidentiality impact. Mitigation focus: Identify whether affected Schneider OFS 3.5-or-earlier product lines are deployed.; Review Schneider Electric and CISA advisory guidance for vendor-approved remediation.; Assess restricting access to OFS/OPC interfaces pending approved remediation..
