CVSS v3 9.8
ATTENTION: Remotely exploitable/low skill level to exploit.
Vendor: Xiongmai Technology
Equipment: IP Cameras and DVRs
Vulnerability: Stack-based Buffer Overflow
AFFECTED PRODUCTS
The following versions of Xiongmai Technology IP cameras and DVRs are
affected:
All IP Cameras and DVRs using the NetSurveillance Web interface.
IMPACT
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could cause the device to reboot
and return to a more vulnerable state in which Telnet is accessible.
MITIGATION
Xiongmai Technology has not responded to requests to coordinate with
NCCIC/ICS-CERT.
ICS-CERT recommends that users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of
exploitation of this vulnerability. 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 this vulnerability.
