HIGH 7.8UPGRADE
CVE-2023-37248 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.8) affecting tecnomatix. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.
A vulnerability has been identified in Tecnomatix Plant Simulation V2201 (All versions < V2201.0008), Tecnomatix Plant Simulation V2302 (All versions < V2302.0002). The affected application contains an out of bounds write past the end of an allocated buffer while parsing a specially crafted PAR file. This could allow an attacker to execute code in the context of the current process. (ZDI-CAN-21155)
Why this priority
- High severity
A fixed release or distro patch exists.

siemens tecnomatix UPGRADE
Affected: >= 2201 and < 2201.0008 · >= 2302 and < 2302.0002
Fixed in: 2201.0008, 2302.0002
Safe to downgrade to: a release before 2201
1. Check installed version
apt-cache policy tecnomatix || rpm -q tecnomatix || tecnomatix --version
2. UPGRADE to 2201.0008 (Debian / Ubuntu)
sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade tecnomatix
2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
sudo dnf upgrade tecnomatix
Note
Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.
3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 2201 (Debian / Ubuntu)
apt-cache madison tecnomatix
sudo apt install tecnomatix=<VERSION_BEFORE_2201>
sudo apt-mark hold tecnomatix
3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
dnf --showduplicates list tecnomatix
sudo dnf downgrade tecnomatix-<VERSION_BEFORE_2201>
sudo dnf versionlock add tecnomatix
Downgrade risk
Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.
After downgrade
Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
