Buffer overflow in the SYSTEM_CREATE_INSTANCE function in the SAP RFC Library 6.40 and 7.00 before 20061211 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors. NOTE: This information is based upon a vague initial disclosure. Details will be updated after the grace period has ended.
Source: NIST NVD / MITRE CVE Database
The vulnerability can be exploited by sending specially crafted requests to the SYSTEM_CREATE_INSTANCE function in the SAP RFC Library. The buffer overflow occurs due to insufficient input validation, allowing an attacker to overwrite memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.

Implement network segmentation and restrict access to the SAP RFC Library to trusted sources only.
No reliable network detection signature exists for this vulnerability class — apply the compensating controls above and the vendor patch. SAGE only publishes a network rule when a concrete on-the-wire signature can be grounded in the advisory.
This CVE violates CIP-007-R2 as it allows unauthorized access to electronic security perimeters, which could compromise the integrity and availability of critical assets.
This CVE maps to SR 7.6 because it involves a vulnerability that can be exploited remotely, leading to potential loss of control and data integrity in industrial control systems.
Virtual patch generated by CITED Relevance SAGE. Validate in isolated environment before production deployment. Compensating control only - does not replace vendor patch.
