EXECUTIVE SUMMARY o CVSS v3 7.8 o ATTENTION: Low attack complexity o Vendor: Siemens o Equipment: Solid Edge o Vulnerabilities: Out-of-bounds Write 2. RISK EVALUATION Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could lead to an application crash or arbitrary code execution on the target host system. 3. TECHNICAL DETAILS 3.1 AFFECTED PRODUCTS The following versions of Siemens Solid Edge, a portfolio of software tools, are affected: o Solid Edge SE2020 - All versions before 2020MP14 o Solid Edge SE2021 - All versions before SE2021MP5 3.2 VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW 3.2.1 OUT-OF-BOUNDS WRITE CWE-787 The ugeom2d.dll library lacks 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-2021-31342 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 jutil.dll library lacks proper validation of user-supplied data when parsing DFT files. This could result in an out-of-bounds write past the end of an allocation structure. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. CVE-2021-31343 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 Garmin, working with Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative, reported these vulnerabilities to Siemens. 4. MITIGATIONS Siemens has released updates and recommends users apply them when possible: o Solid Edge SE2020 - All versions before 2020MP14: Update to 2020MP14 or later (login required) o Solid Edge SE2021 - All versions before SE2021MP5: Update to SE2021MP5 or later (login required) Siemens has identified the following specific workarounds and mitigations users can apply to reduce the risk: o Avoid opening untrusted filed from unknown sources in Solid Edge. 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.
