This updated advisory is a follow-up to the original advisory titled ICSA-16-042-01 Moxa EDR‑G903 Secure Router Vulnerabilities that was published May 17, 2016, on the NCCIC/ICS-CERT web site.
Independent researcher Maxim Rupp has identified vulnerabilities in Moxa’s EDR‑G903 secure routers. Moxa has produced a new firmware version to mitigate these vulnerabilities.
These vulnerabilities could be exploited remotely.
The following Moxa Secure Routers are affected:
Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities may allow a remote attacker to escalate privileges, initiate a denial-of-service condition, and execute arbitrary code.
Impact to individual organizations depends on many factors that are unique to each organization. ICS-CERT recommends that organizations evaluate the impact of these vulnerabilities based on their operational environment, architecture, and product implementation.
Moxa is a Taiwan-based company that maintains offices in several countries around the world, including the US, UK, India, Germany, France, China, Russia, and Brazil.
The affected product, Moxa EDR-G903 series, is an industrial virtual private network (VPN) server with firewall/NAT all-in-one secure router. It is designed for Ethernet security applications in sensitive remote control or monitoring networks, According to Moxa, these secure routers are deployed across several sectors, including, Commercial Facilities, Critical Manufacturing, Emergency Services, Energy, and others. Moxa estimates that these products are used globally but concentrated in the US, Europe, Chile, Argentina, Peru, Columbia, and Taiwan; 50 to 60 percent of all sales are in the US.
By accessing a specific uniform resource locator (URL) on the web server, a malicious user is able to access configuration and log files.
CVE-2016-0875NVD, http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2016-0875, web site last accessed December 22, 2016. has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.5 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N).CVSS Calculator, https://www.first.org/cvss/calculator/3.0#CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, web site last accessed May 17, 2016.
Configuration files contain passwords in plaintext.
CVE-2016-0876NVD, http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2016-0876, web site last accessed December 22, 2016. has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.5 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N).CVSS Calculator, https://www.first.org/cvss/calculator/3.0#CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, web site last accessed May 17, 2016.
Ping function is available to every user, which may cause a memory leak in the affected device.
CVE-2016-0877NVD, http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2016-0877, web site last accessed December 22, 2016. has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.5 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H).CVSS Calculator, https://www.first.org/cvss/calculator/3.0#CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, web site last accessed December 22, 2016.
By sending malicious requests in the form of a ping twice, the device independently produces “Cold start.”
CVE-2016-0878NVD, http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2016-0878, web site last accessed December 22, 2016. has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.5 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).CVSS Calculator, https://www.first.org/cvss/calculator/3.0#CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, web site last accessed May 17, 2016.
After using the import function of configuration or log files they are not deleted from server side, and any attacker is able to download them “without authenticating” by accessing a specific URL.
CVE-2016-0879NVD, http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2016-0879, web site last accessed December 22, 2016. has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.5 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N).CVSS Calculator, https://www.first.org/cvss/calculator/3.0#CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, web site last accessed December 22, 2016.
These vulnerabilities could be exploited remotely.
No known public exploits specifically target these vulnerabilities.
An attacker with a low skill would be able to exploit these vulnerabilities.
Moxa has created firmware version v3.4.12, and it is available to users upon request.
