    AirLink Raven XE, all versions prior to 4.0.14, and
    AirLink Raven XT, all versions prior to 4.0.11.

IMPACT

Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities may allow a remote attacker
to perform unauthorized sensitive functions compromising the confidentiality,
integrity, and availability of the affected system.

MITIGATION

Sierra Wireless has released new firmware versions to address the forced
browsing and cross-site request forgery vulnerabilities. Sierra Wireless

For additional information about these vulnerabilities or the recommendations
provided, please contact Sierra Wireless security team at:

NCCIC/ICS-CERT recommends that users take defensive measures to minimize the
risk of exploitation of these vulnerabilities. Specifically, users should:

    Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems,
    and ensure that they are not accessible from the Internet.
    Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls,
    and isolate them from the business network.
    When remote access is required, use secure methods, such as Virtual
    Private Networks (VPNs), recognizing that VPNs may have vulnerabilities
    and should be updated to the most current version available. Also
    recognize that VPN is only as secure as the connected devices.

ICS-CERT reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk
assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.

ICS-CERT also provides a section for control systems security recommended
practices on the ICS-CERT web page. Several recommended practices are
available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control
Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies.

Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are
publicly available in the ICSCERT Technical Information Paper,
ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation
Strategies, that is available for download from the ICS-CERT web site.

Organizations observing any suspected malicious activity should follow their
established internal procedures and report their findings to ICS-CERT for
tracking and correlation against other incidents.

No known public exploits specifically target these vulnerabilities.

VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW

IMPROPER AUTHORIZATION CWE-285

Several files and directories can be accessed without authentication,
which may allow a remote attacker to perform sensitive functions including
arbitrary file upload, file download, and device reboot.

CVE-2017-6044 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3
base score of 10.0 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is
(AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).

CROSS-SITE REQUEST FORGERY (CSRF) CWE-352

Affected devices do not verify if a request was intentionally sent by
the logged-in user, which may allow an attacker to trick a client into
making an unintentional request to the web server that will be treated as
an authentic request.

CVE-2017-6042 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3
base score of 8.8 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is
(AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

INSUFFICIENTLY PROTECTED CREDENTIALS CWE-522

Sensitive information is insufficiently protected during transmission and
vulnerable to sniffing, which could lead to information disclosure.

CVE-2017-6046 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3
base score of 4.3 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is
(AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N).

RESEARCHER
