4.2 VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW

4.2.1    UNCONTROLLED RESOURCE CONSUMPTION CWE-400

The PROFINET (PNIO) stack, when integrated with the Interniche IP stack, improperly handles internal resources for TCP segments where the minimum TCP-Header length is less than defined.  This could allow an attacker to create a denial-of-service condition for TCP services on affected devices by sending specially crafted TCP segments.

CVE-2022-25622 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 5.3 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L).

4.3 BACKGROUND

  • CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE SECTORS: Multiple
  • COUNTRIES/AREAS DEPLOYED: Worldwide
  • COMPANY HEADQUARTERS LOCATION: Germany

4.4 RESEARCHER

Siemens reported this vulnerability to CISA.

5. MITIGATIONS

Siemens recommends the following workarounds and mitigations users can apply to reduce risk:

--------- Begin Update E Part 3 of 4 --------- 

--------- End Update E Part 3 of 4 --------- 

--------- Begin Update E Part 4 of 4 --------- 

 

--------- End Update E Part 4 of 4 --------- 

Siemens has identified the following specific workarounds and mitigations that customers can apply to reduce the risk:

  • Limit access to Port 102/TCP to trusted users and systems only.

As a general security measure, Siemens strongly recommends protecting network access to devices with appropriate mechanisms. In order to operate the devices in a protected IT environment, Siemens recommends configuring the environment according to Siemens' operational guidelines for industrial security and to follow the recommendations in the product manuals.
