CVE ID	CVE-2021-43983
CVSS SCORE	7.8, AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
AFFECTED VENDORS	WECON

VULNERABILITY DETAILS	This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of WECON LeviStudioU. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of BaseSet tags within UMP files. When parsing the EnterTime attribute, the process does not properly validate the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer.
