SSA-811403: Multiple File Parsing Vulnerabilities in Solid Edge before V223 Update 7

Publication Date:	2023-08-08
Last Update:	2023-08-08
Current Version:	V1.0
CVSS v3.1 Base Score:	7.8

SUMMARY

Solid Edge is affected by multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities that could be triggered when the application reads specially crafted files in various formats such as DFT, PAR or PSM format. If a user is tricked to open a malicious file with the affected application, an attacker could leverage the vulnerability to crash the application or execute arbitrary code.

Siemens has released an update for Solid Edge SE2023 and recommends to update to the latest version.

AFFECTED PRODUCTS AND SOLUTION

Affected Product and Versions	Remediation
Solid Edge SE2023 All versions < V223.0 Update 7	Update to V223.0 Update 7 or later version https://support.sw.siemens.com/ See further recommendations from section Workarounds and Mitigations

WORKAROUNDS AND MITIGATIONS

Siemens has identified the following specific workarounds and mitigations that customers can apply to reduce the risk:

Avoid to open untrusted files from unknown sources in Solid Edge

Product-specific remediations or mitigations can be found in the section Affected Products and Solution.
Please follow the General Security Recommendations.

GENERAL SECURITY RECOMMENDATIONS

As a general security measure, Siemens strongly recommends to protect network access to devices with appropriate mechanisms. In order to operate the devices in a protected IT environment, Siemens recommends to configure the environment according to Siemens' operational guidelines for Industrial Security (Download: https://www.siemens.com/cert/operational-guidelines-industrial-security), and to follow the recommendations in the product manuals.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Solid Edge is a portfolio of software tools that addresses various product development processes: 3D design, simulation, manufacturing and design management.

VULNERABILITY CLASSIFICATION

Un-/Collapse All

The vulnerability classification has been performed by using the CVSS scoring system in version 3.1 (CVSS v3.1) (https://www.first.org/cvss/). The CVSS environmental score is specific to the customer’s environment and will impact the overall CVSS score. The environmental score should therefore be individually defined by the customer to accomplish final scoring.

An additional classification has been performed using the CWE classification, a community-developed list of common software security weaknesses. This serves as a common language and as a baseline for weakness identification, mitigation, and prevention efforts. A detailed list of CWE classes can be found at: https://cwe.mitre.org/.

Vulnerability CVE-2023-39181

The affected application contains an out of bounds write past the end of an allocated buffer while parsing a specially crafted PAR file. This could allow an attacker to execute code in the context of the current process.
