1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
o CVSS v3 9.8
o ATTENTION: Exploitable remotely/low skill level to exploit
o Vendor: Siemens
o Equipment: RUGGEDCOM ROX II
o Vulnerabilities: Double Free, Out-of-bounds Read, Uncontrolled Resource
Consumption
2. RISK EVALUATION
Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could result in remote code
execution and/or a denial-of-service condition.
3. TECHNICAL DETAILS
3.1 AFFECTED PRODUCTS
The following RUGGEDCOM product is affected:
o RUGGEDCOM ROX II: All versions prior to v2.13.0
3.2 VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW
3.2.1 DOUBLE FREE CWE-415
The shipped version of the Quagga BGP daemon (bgpd) can double free memory when
processing certain forms of UPDATE messages, containing cluster-list and/or
unknown attributes. A successful attack could cause a denial of service or
allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.
This vulnerability could be exploited by an attacker spoofing a malicious BGP
UPDATE message within the network.
CVE-2018-5379 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
9.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/
C:H/I:H/A:H ).
3.2.2 OUT-OF-BOUNDS READ CWE-125
The shipped version of the Quagga BGP daemon (bgpd) can overrun internal BGP
code-to-string conversion tables used for debug by 1 pointer value, based on
input.
The vulnerability could be exploited by an attacker spoofing a malicious BGP
code-point. Successful exploitation requires the attacker to be in the position
of a configured, trusted BGP peer.
CVE-2018-5380 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
4.3 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/
C:N/I:N/A:L ).
3.2.3 UNCONTROLLED RESOURCE CONSUMPTION CWE-400
The shipped version of the Quagga BGP daemon (bgpd) has a bug in its parsing of
"Capabilities" in BGP OPEN messages. The parser can enter an infinite loop on
invalid capabilities, causing a denial of service.
The vulnerability could be exploited by an attacker spoofing a malicious BGP
OPEN message. Successful exploitation requires the attacker to be in the
position of a configured, trusted BGP peer.
CVE-2018-5381 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
7.5 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/
C:N/I:N/A:H ).
3.3 BACKGROUND
o CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE SECTORS: Energy, Healthcare and Public Health,
Transportation Systems
o COUNTRIES/AREAS DEPLOYED: Worldwide
o COMPANY HEADQUARTERS LOCATION: Germany
3.4 RESEARCHER
Siemens reported these vulnerabilities to NCCIC.
4. MITIGATIONS
Siemens has provided firmware update v2.13.0 to fix these vulnerabilities. The
firmware updates for RUGGEDCOM ROX-based devices can be obtained by contacting
the RUGGEDCOM support team at (login required):
https://support.industry.siemens.com/my/WW/en/requests#createRequest
Siemens has identified the following specific workarounds and mitigations users
can apply to reduce the risk:
o Disable the BGP routing service if not in use in your setup.
o Configure BGP passwords to authenticate BGP neighbors.
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
(Download), and following the recommendations in the product manuals.

For more information on the vulnerabilities and more detailed mitigation
instructions, please see Siemens Security Advisory SSA-451142 at the following
location:
http://www.siemens.com/cert/advisories
NCCIC recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of
exploitation of this vulnerability. Specifically, users should:
o Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems,
and ensure that they are not accessible from the Internet .
o Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls, and
isolate them from the business network.
o 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.
NCCIC reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk
assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.
NCCIC 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
on the ICS-CERT website in the Technical Information Paper,
ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation
Strategies .
Organizations observing any suspected malicious activity should follow their
established internal procedures and report their findings to NCCIC for tracking
and correlation against other incidents.
No known public exploits specifically target these vulnerabilities.
