ICSA-25-226-08: Siemens RUGGEDCOM CROSSBOW Station Access Controller ↗ source

August 14, 2025 CISA ICS Advisory

Summary

RUGGEDCOM CROSSBOW Station Access Controller (SAC) contains multiple vulnerabilities in the integrated SQLite component that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code or to create a denial of service condition. Siemens has released a new version for RUGGEDCOM CROSSBOW Station Access Controller (SAC) and recommends to update to the latest version. CVE-2025-3277: An integer overflow can be triggered in SQLite's 'concat_ws()' function. The resulting, truncated integer is then used to allocate a buffer. When SQLite then writes the resulting string to the buffer, it uses the original, untruncated size and thus a wild Heap Buffer overflow of size 4GB can be triggered. This can result in arbitrary code execution. CVE-2025-29087: In SQLite, the concat_ws() SQL function can cause memory to be written beyond the end of a malloc-allocated buffer. If the separator argument is attacker-controlled and has a large string (e.g., 2MB or more), an integer overflow occurs in calculating the size of the result buffer, and thus malloc may not allocate enough memory. CVE-2025-29088: A vulnerability in sqlite allows an attacker to cause a denial of service via the SQLITE_DBCONFIG_LOOKASIDE component.

Vulnerabilities as Stated by the Advisory

CVEWeaknessCVSS v3Details
CVE-2025-3277 CWE-122 Heap-based Buffer Overflow 8.3 High CVE-2025-3277
An integer overflow can be triggered in SQLite's 'concat_ws()' function. The resulting, truncated integer is then used to allocate a buffer. When SQLite then writes the resulting string to the buffer, it uses the original, untruncated size and thus a wild Heap Buffer overflow of size 4GB can be triggered. This can result in arbitrary code execution.

If the separator argument is attacker-controlled and has a large string (e.g., 2MB or more), an integer overflow occurs in calculating the size of the result buffer, and thus malloc may not allocate enough memory.
