1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

  o CVSS v3 7.4
  o ATTENTION: Exploitable remotely/low attack complexity
  o Vendor: Siemens
  o Equipment: SCALANCE W1700
  o Vulnerabilities: Race Condition, Improper Input Validation

2. RISK EVALUATION

Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to
cause various denial-of-service conditions.

3. TECHNICAL DETAILS

3.1 AFFECTED PRODUCTS

The following versions of SCALANCE, a wireless communication device, are
affected:

  o SCLANCE W1788-1 M12: All versions prior to 3.0.0
  o SCALANCE W1788-2 ECC M12: All versions prior to 3.0.0
  o SCALANCE W1788-2 M12: All versions prior to 3.0.0
  o SCALANCE W1788-2IA M12: All versions prior to 3.0.0

3.2 VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW

3.2.1 CONCURRENT EXECUTION USING SHARED RESOURCE WITH IMPROPER SYNCHRONIZATION
('RACE CONDITION') CWE-362

The affected product does not properly handle resources of ARP requests. This
could allow an attacker to cause a race condition that leads to a crash of the
entire device.

CVE-2022-27481 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
7.4 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/
I:N/A:H) .

3.2.2 IMPROPER INPUT VALIDATION CWE-20

The affected product does not properly handle malformed Multicast LLC frames.
This could allow an attacker to trigger a denial-of-service condition.

CVE-2022-28328 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
7.4 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/
I:N/A:H ).

3.2.3 IMPROPER INPUT VALIDATION CWE-20

The affected product does not properly handle malformed TCP packets received
over the RemoteCapture feature. This could allow an attacker to lead to a
denial-of-service condition, which only affects the port used by the
RemoteCapture feature.

CVE-2022-28329 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
4.3 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/
I:N/A:L ).

3.3 BACKGROUND

  o CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE SECTORS: Multiple Sectors
  o COUNTRIES/AREAS DEPLOYED: Worldwide
  o COMPANY HEADQUARTERS LOCATION: Germany

3.4 RESEARCHER

Siemens reported these vulnerabilities to CISA.

4. MITIGATIONS

CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of
exploitation of this vulnerability. Specifically, users should:

  o Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems,
    and ensure they are not accessible from the Internet .
  o Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and
    isolate them from the business network.
  o When remote access is required, use secure methods, such as Virtual Private
    Networks (VPNs), recognizing VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be
    updated to the most current version available. Also recognize VPN is only
    as secure as its connected devices.

CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk
assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.

CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices
on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov . Several recommended practices are available
for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems
Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies .

Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available
on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov in the Technical Information Paper,
ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation
Strategies .

Organizations observing any suspected malicious activity should follow their
established internal procedures and report their findings to CISA for tracking
and correlation against other incidents.
