Vulnerability Note VU#337569

AREVA e-terrahabitat SCADA systems vulnerabilities

Overview

   AREVA e-terrahabitat contains multiple vulnerabilities.

I. Description

   AREVA e-terrahabitat is a core component of the Energy Management system 
   that provides real-time data and process management services. 
   e-terrahabitat contains vulnerabilities, including a buffer overflow. For 
   more information on these issues AREVA customers should review the 
   following issues in AREVA T&D Security Bulletin - ATD-08-002:

    * PD28578 Buffer Overflow Vulnerability in e-terrahabitat MLF 
        application
    * PD32018 Denial of Service Vulnerability in e-terrahabitat WebFGServer 
        application
    * PD32020 Denial of Service Vulnerability in e-terrahabitat WebFGServer 
        application
    * PD32021 Denial of Service Vulnerability in e-terrahabitat NETIO 
        application
    * PD32022 Privilege Escalation in e-terrahabitat WebFGServer 
        application


   Note that these issues affect versions 5.7 and earlier.

II. Impact

   An unauthenticated attacker may be able to gain access with the 
   privileges of the e-terrahabitat account or an administrator account and 
   execute arbitrary commands, or cause a vulnerable system to crash.

III. Solution

   Apply Patch

   Users of e-terrahabitat version 5.5, 5.6, and 5.7 should apply the 
   e-terrahabitat_560_P20081030_SEC patch immediately.

   Upgrade

   Users of affected software with versions 5.4 and earlier are encouraged 
   to upgrade to 5.6 or above.

   Intrusion Detection

   According to AREVA T&D Security Bulletin - ATD-08-002:

   Strong network perimeter access controls can reduce the potential avenues 
   of attack. In cooperation with AREVA, the US Department of Homeland (DHS) 
   Security Control Systems Security Program (CSSP) developed Snort based 
   network intrusion detection signatures that are available for AREVA 
   customer use only to detect attempts to exploit vulnerabilities within the 
   WebFGServer. Due to unique system configuration dependencies, the 
   signatures must be tuned to your specific environment. Please contact 
   AREVA to obtain these signatures. DHS and AREVA cannot provide support for 
   the signatures at this time.

   Restrict Access

   Limit network access to hosts that require connections to the portal. Do 
   not allow access to the portal from untrusted networks such as the 
   internet.
