July 11, 2024 CISA ICS Advisory

Summary

This advisory documents the impact of CVE-2024-3596 (also dubbed "Blastradius"), a vulnerability in the RADIUS protocol, to SCALANCE, RUGGEDCOM and related products. The vulnerability could allow on-path attackers, located between a Network Access Server (the RADIUS client, e.g., SCALANCE or RUGGEDCOM devices) and a RADIUS server (e.g., SINEC INS), to forge Access-Request packets in a way that enables them to modify the corresponding server response packet at will, e.g., turning an "Access-Reject" message into an "Access-Accept". This would cause the Network Access Server to grant the attackers access to the network with the attackers desired authorization (and without the need of knowing or guessing legitimate access credentials). Further details incl. external references can be found in the chapter "Additional Information". Siemens has released new versions for several affected products and recommends to update to the latest versions, and to configure the updated systems as recommended in the chapter "Additional Information". Siemens is preparing further fix versions and recommends specific countermeasures for products where fixes are not, or not yet available. See chapter "Additional Information" for details.

Vulnerabilities as Stated by the Advisory

CVEWeaknessCVSS v3Details
CVE-2024-3596 CWE-924 Improper Enforcement of Message Integrity During Transmission in a Communication Channel 9.0 Critical CVE-2024-3596
RADIUS Protocol under RFC 2865 is susceptible to forgery attacks by a local attacker who can modify responses Access-Reject or Access-Accept using a chosen-prefix collision attack against MD5 Response Authenticator signature.

Mitigation: Configure the RADIUS server to require the presence of a Message-Authenticator attribute in all Access-Request packets from RADIUS client devices that support it

Mitigation: Restrict access to the networks where RADIUS messages are exchanged (e.g., send RADIUS traffic via management network or a dedicated VLAN)

No fix planned: Currently no fix is planned
