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. Additional information on Industrial Security by Siemens can be found at: https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity PRODUCT DESCRIPTION =================== RUGGEDCOM products provide a level of robustness and reliability that have set the standard for communications networks deployed in harsh environments. Designed to meet and exceed IEC 61850-3 protocol requirements, the RUGGEDCOM Layer 3 Multi-Service Platform family of switches and routers offers integrated router, firewall and VPN functionalities. The RUGGEDCOM RX1400 is a multi-protocol intelligent node which combines Ethernet switching, routing and application hosting capabilities with various wide area connectivity options. VULNERABILITY CLASSIFICATION ============================ 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-2021-37173 The command line interface of affected devices insufficiently restrict file read and write operations for low privileged users. This could allow an authenticated remote attacker to escalate privileges and gain root access to the device. CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 8.8 CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C CWE: CWE-269: Improper Privilege Management * Vulnerability CVE-2021-37174 The affected devices have a privilege escalation vulnerability, if exploited, an attacker could gain root user access. CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 8.8 CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C CWE: CWE-250: Execution with Unnecessary Privileges * Vulnerability CVE-2021-37175 The affected devices do not properly handle permissions to traverse the file system. If exploited, an attacker could gain access to an overview of the complete file system on the affected devices. CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 4.3 CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:P/RL:O/RC:C CWE: CWE-280: Improper Handling of Insufficient Permissions or Privileges ACKNOWLEDGMENTS =============== Siemens thanks the following parties for their efforts: * Michael Messner from Siemens Energy for reporting the vulnerabilities ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ====================== For further inquiries on security vulnerabilities in Siemens products and solutions, please contact the Siemens ProductCERT: https://www.siemens.com/cert/advisories HISTORY DATA ============ V1.0 (2021-09-14): Publication Date V1.1 (2021-10-12): Improvement of CVE description TERMS OF USE ============ Siemens Security Advisories are subject to the terms and conditions contained in Siemens' underlying license terms or other applicable agreements previously agreed to with Siemens (hereinafter "License Terms").
