1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
o CVSS v3 7.8
o ATTENTION: Low skill level to exploit
o Vendor: Siemens
o Equipment: Solid Edge
o Vulnerabilities: Out-of-bounds Write, Stack-based Buffer Overflow
2. RISK EVALUATION
Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow arbitrary code
execution on an affected system.
3. TECHNICAL DETAILS
3.1 AFFECTED PRODUCTS
The following versions of Solid Edge, a portfolio of software tools, are
affected:
o Solid Edge: All versions prior to SE2021MP2
3.2 VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW
3.2.1 OUT-OF-BOUNDS WRITE CWE-787
The affected applications lack proper validation of user-supplied data when
parsing PAR files. This could result in an out-of-bounds write into
uninitialized memory. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute
code in the context of the current process.
CVE-2020-28381 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:N/UI:R/S:U/
C:H/I:H/A:H ).
3.2.2 OUT-OF-BOUNDS WRITE CWE-787
The affected applications lack proper validation of user-supplied data when
parsing PAR files. This could result in an out-of-bounds write past the end of
an allocated structure. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to
execute code in the context of the current process.
CVE-2020-28382 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:N/UI:R/S:U/
C:H/I:H/A:H ).
3.2.3 OUT-OF-BOUNDS WRITE CWE-787
The affected applications lack proper validation of user-supplied data when
parsing PAR files. This can result in an out-of-bounds write past the memory
location of a read only image address. An attacker could leverage this
vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
CVE-2020-28383 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:N/UI:R/S:U/
C:H/I:H/A:H ).
3.2.4 STACK-BASED BUFFER OVERFLOW CWE-121
The affected applications lack proper validation of user-supplied data when
parsing PAR files. This could lead to a stack-based buffer overflow. An
attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of
the current process.
CVE-2020-28384 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:N/UI:R/S:U/
C:H/I:H/A:H ).
3.2.5 OUT-OF-BOUNDS WRITE CWE-787
The affected applications lack proper validation of user-supplied data when
parsing DFT files. This could result in an out-of-bounds write past the end of
an allocated structure. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to
execute code in the context of the current process.
CVE-2020-28386 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:N/UI:R/S:U/
C:H/I:H/A:H ).
3.2.6 STACK-BASED BUFFER OVERFLOW CWE-121
The affected applications lack proper validation of user-supplied data when
parsing of PAR files. This could result in a stack-based buffer overflow. An
attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of
the current process.
CVE-2020-26989 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:N/UI:R/S:U/
C:H/I:H/A:H ).
3.3 BACKGROUND
o CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE SECTORS: Critical Manufacturing
o COUNTRIES/AREAS DEPLOYED: Worldwide
o COMPANY HEADQUARTERS LOCATION: Germany
3.4 RESEARCHER
rgod, working with Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative, reported these
vulnerabilities to CISA.
4. MITIGATIONS
Siemens has published a security advisory and released an update to Version
SE2021MP2 or later for Solid Edge and recommends users update to the latest
version (login required).
Siemens has identified the following specific workarounds and mitigations users
can apply to reduce risk:
o Siemens recommends limiting opening of untrusted files from unknown sources
in Solid Edge.
o Applying a defense-in-depth concept can help to reduce the probability
untrusted code is run on the system. Siemens recommends applying the
defense-in-depth concept.
As a general security measure, Siemens strongly recommends users protect
network access to devices with appropriate mechanisms. In order to operate the
devices in a protected IT environment, Siemens recommends users configure the
environment according to Siemens' operational guidelines for Industrial
Security , and follow the recommendations in the product manual.
