January 4, 2024 CISA ICS Advisory

Summary

Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could disclose information in the product or could cause denial-of-service (DoS) condition. CVE-2022-4304: The affected products contain an observable timing discrepancy vulnerability in their RSA decryption implementation. By sending specially crafted packets and performing a Bleichenbacher style attack, an attack method to decrypt ciphertext by observing the behavior when a padding error occurs, an attacker could decrypt the ciphertext and disclose sensitive information. CVE-2022-4450: The affected products contain a double free vulnerability when reading a PEM file. An attacker could cause denial-of-service (DoS) on the product by leading a legitimate user to importing a malicious certificate. CVE-2023-0286: The affected products contain a type confusion vulnerability relating to X.400 addressprocessing inside an X.509 GeneralName. An attacker could disclose sensitive information in memory of the product or cause denial-of-service (DoS) on the product by getting to load a specially crafted certificate revocation list (CRL).

Vulnerabilities as Stated by the Advisory

CVEWeaknessCVSS v3Details
CVE-2022-4450 CWE-415 Double Free 7.5 High The affected products contain a double free vulnerability when reading a PEM file. An attacker could cause denial-of-service (DoS) on the product by leading a legitimate user to importing a malicious certificate.

Mitigation: Mitsbuishi Electric recommends that users update their products to the following versions:

Mitigation: GT SoftGOT2000: Version 1.295H or later

Mitigation: OPC UA data collector: 1.05F or later

Affected, fixed & timeline

Affected:

  • FX5-OPC <=1.006_

Mitigation: MX OPC Server UA: Use recommended mitigations/workarounds

Mitigation: OPC UA server unit: Use recommended mitigations/workarounds

Vendor fix: FX5-OPC: Version 1.010 or later

Mitigation: Mitsubishi Electric recommends that users take the following mitigation measures to minimize the risk of exploiting these vulnerabilities:

Mitigation: GT SoftGOT2000 and OPC UA Data Collector: Do not load untrusted certificate revocation lists (CRLs).

Mitigation: MX OPC Server UA: Use within a LAN and block access from untrusted networks and hosts through firewalls. Restrict physical access to the product, as well as to computers and network devices located within the same network as the product. Use a firewall or virtual private network (VPN), etc. to prevent unauthorized access when Internet access is required.

Mitigation: OPC UA Server Unit: Use within a LAN and block access from untrusted networks and hosts through firewalls. Restrict physical access to the product, as well as to computers and network devices located within the same network as the product. Use a firewall or virtual private network (VPN), etc. to prevent unauthorized access when Internet access is required. Set a security policy other than 'None' …
