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.
