3.2 VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW
3.2.1 HEAP-BASED BUFFER OVERFLOW CWE-122
OpenSSL incorrectly uses pointer arithmetic for heap-buffer boundary checks,
which may allow denial of service attacks or other unspecified behavior.
CVE-2016-2177 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
9.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is
(AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
3.2.2 IMPROPER RESTRICTION OF OPERATIONS WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF A MEMORY BUFFER
CWE-119
This vulnerability can be exploited to cause an out-of-bounds memory read
access, which may allow remote code execution with system privileges.
CVE-2016-10395 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score
of 7.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is
(AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
3.2.3 URL REDIRECTION TO UNTRUSTED SITE ('OPEN REDIRECT') CWE-601
An open redirect vulnerability has been identified, which may allow remote
attackers to redirect users to arbitrary websites for phishing attacks.
CVE-2017-5571 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
6.1 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is
(AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N).

4. MITIGATIONS
Schneider Electric recommends that users of affected Citect and PlantStruxure
products download and install the new version of the software located at:
https://www.citect.schneider-electric.com/documents/downloads/Floating_License_Manager_v2.1.0.0.zip
Users using EcoStruxure Modicon Builder V3.0 are recommended to download and
use the new version (V3.1) located at:
https://partner.schneider-electric.com/partners/Menu/MyPartnership (login
required)
StructureWare 7.2.x users should upgrade to Version 7.2.2 and apply the
floating licensing manager (FLM) patch from the following location:
https://schneider-electric.box.com/s/n2fh1ym594pqvl87kf0zjsigamuryrje
EcoStruxure/StruxureWare Power Monitoring Expert and Power SCADA Operations
users need to upgrade to Version 8.2. Energy Expert users need to upgrade to
Version 1.3. Once these are upgraded apply the Cumulative Update (CU) 2
located at:
https://schneider-electric.box.com/s/kkdikodcksjj1dznqy68ko0j28wct7vb
Schneider Electric has also released security notifications which contain
further details and upgrade instructions at the following links:

NCCIC recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of
exploitation of these vulnerabilities. Specifically, users should:
o Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems,
and ensure that 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 that VPNs may have vulnerabilities and
should be updated to the most current version available. Also recognize that
VPN is only as secure as the connected devices.
NCCIC reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk
assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.
NCCIC also provides a section for control systems security recommended
practices on the ICS-CERT web page. 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-CERT website 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 NCCIC for
tracking and correlation against other incidents.
No known public exploits specifically target these vulnerabilities.
