Siemens Security Snafu: Massive Device Vulnerability Revealed
View CSAF: Siemens has discovered a vulnerability in the Interniche IP-Stack affecting multiple industrial products. This flaw can allow unauthenticated remote attackers to disrupt TCP-based services, but only if they’re timing ninjas capable of packet injection. Siemens recommends updating to the latest versions or employing countermeasures while they prepare further fixes.
Hot Take:
Oh Siemens, you really know how to stack up vulnerabilities, don’t you? It seems like the only thing more extensive than your product list is the list of CVEs affecting them. If only these vulnerabilities were as hard to crack as your product names are to pronounce! But fear not, for Siemens has a plan – and it involves updates, countermeasures, and a pinch of magic (or maybe just a really good security team).
Key Points:
- Siemens products affected by Interniche IP-Stack vulnerability.
- Potential for denial of service via TCP sequence number validation flaw.
- Attack requires precise packet injection with spoofed addresses.
- Siemens recommends updating to new versions and offers countermeasures.
- Vulnerability reported by Siemens ProductCERT and researchers from Tsinghua University and Zhongguancun Laboratory.
