Siemens Security Alert: RUGGEDCOM Vulnerabilities Demand Urgent Update!
Siemens’ ProductCERT Security Advisories take the spotlight as CISA steps back from updating Siemens product vulnerabilities. Stay vigilant against potential attacks on RUGGEDCOM CROSSBOW Station Access Controller (SAC) and keep your buffer overflow fears in check by updating to the latest software version.
Hot Take:
Looks like CISA is giving Siemens users a New Year’s resolution: DIY security updates! By January 10th, 2023, CISA is handing the baton over to Siemens for product vulnerability updates. So, Siemens product users, prepare to become your own cybersecurity detectives, because it’s up to you to stay ahead of the hackers lurking in the shadows. Here’s to hoping Siemens’ ProductCERT doesn’t ghost you when you need it most!
Key Points:
- CISA stops updating Siemens ICS security advisories after the initial alert.
- Vulnerabilities include heap-based buffer overflow and integer overflow/wraparound.
- RUGGEDCOM CROSSBOW Station Access Controller (SAC) versions before V5.7 are affected.
- Siemens recommends updating to V5.7 or later and offers mitigation strategies.
- CISA urges protective measures for control system networks and devices.
