Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to disclose sensitive information, remotely execute arbitrary code, or crash the device.
Honeywell reports the vulnerabilities affect the following Matrikon products:
The affected product is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, which may allow an attacker to manipulate memory with controlled values and remotely execute code.
CVE-2020-27297 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 9.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
The affected product is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds read, which may allow an attacker to obtain and disclose sensitive data information or cause the device to crash.
CVE-2020-27299 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 8.2 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N).
Some parsing functions in the affected product do not check the return value of malloc and the thread handling the message is forced to close, which may lead to a denial-of-service condition.
CVE-2020-27274 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.5 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
The affected product has uncontrolled resource consumption issues, which may allow an attacker to cause a denial-of-service condition.
CVE-2020-27295 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.5 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
Uri Katz of Claroty reported these vulnerabilities to CISA.
Honeywell recommends upgrading Matrikon OPC UA Tunneller to Version 6.3.0.8233
CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of these vulnerabilities. Specifically, users should:
CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.
CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices on the ICS webpage on us-cert.cisa.gov. Several recommended practices are available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies.
Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available on the ICS webpage on us-cert.cisa.gov in the Technical Information Paper, ICS-TIP-12-146-01B–Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation Strategies.
Organizations observing any suspected malicious activity should follow their established internal procedures and report their findings to CISA for tracking and correlation against other incidents.
No known public exploits specifically target these vulnerabilities.
