CWE-119Published: December 17, 2007· Updated: Jun 16, 2026
Official Description
Gesytec Easylon OPC Server before 2.3.44 does not properly validate server handles, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via unspecified network traffic to the OLE for Process Control (OPC) interface, probably related to free operations on arbitrary memory addresses through certain Remove functions, and read and write operations on arbitrary memory addresses through certain Set, Read, and Write functions.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2007-4473 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-119): Buffer overflow vulnerabilities can lead to arbitrary code execution or denial of service by corrupting adjacent memory.
