This updated advisory is a follow-up to the updated advisory titled ICSA-16-308-02A Schneider Electric Magelis HMI Resource Consumption Vulnerabilities that was published November 22, 2016, on the NCCIC/ICS-CERT web site.
ICS-CERT is aware of a public report of resource consumption vulnerabilities affecting Schneider Electric’s Magelis human-machine interface (HMI) products. The researcher Eran Goldstein, in collaboration with Check Point Software Technologies and CRITIFENCE, released vulnerability information after coordination with the vendor and ICS-CERT.
--------- Begin Update B Part 1 of 2 --------
Schneider Electric has released a new software version that removes the vulnerable web-server component.
--------- End Update B Part 1 of 2 ----------
These vulnerabilities could be exploited remotely.
Detailed vulnerability information is publicly available that could be used to develop an exploit that targets these vulnerabilities.
Schneider Electric reports that the vulnerabilities affect the following versions of Magelis HMI:
Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could result in a denial of service for the affected devices.
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.
Schneider Electric’s corporate headquarters is located in Paris, France, and maintains offices in more than 100 countries worldwide.
The affected products, Magelis, are human-machine interfaces. According to Schneider Electric, the Magelis HMIs are deployed across several sectors including Critical Manufacturing, and Food and Agriculture. Schneider Electric estimates that these products are used worldwide.
An attacker can open multiple connections to a targeted web server and keep connections open preventing new connections from being made, rendering the web server unavailable during an attack.
