  script_set_attribute(attribute:"description", value:
"Use of the low-level GF(2m) elliptic curve APIs with untrusted
explicit values for the field polynomial can lead to out-of-bounds
memory reads or writes. Impact summary: Out of bound memory writes can
lead to an application crash or even a possibility of a remote code
execution, however, in all the protocols involving Elliptic Curve
Cryptography that we're aware of, either only named curves are
supported, or, if explicit curve parameters are supported, they
specify an X9.62 encoding of binary (GF(2m)) curves that can't
represent problematic input values. Thus the likelihood of existence
of a vulnerable application is low. In particular, the X9.62 encoding
is used for ECC keys in X.509 certificates, so problematic inputs
cannot occur in the context of processing X.509 certificates. Any
problematic use-cases would have to be using an exotic curve
encoding. The affected APIs include: EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m(),
EC_GROUP_new_from_params(), and various supporting BN_GF2m_*()
functions. Applications working with exotic explicit binary (GF(2m))
curve parameters, that make it possible to represent invalid field
polynomials with a zero constant term, via the above or similar APIs,
may terminate abruptly as a result of reading or writing outside of
array bounds. Remote code execution cannot easily be ruled out. The
FIPS modules in 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.

"The following text was originally created by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The original
can be found at CISA.gov.

Siemens has identified the following specific workarounds and mitigations users can apply to reduce risk:

- All affected products: Update to V3.0.0 or later version

As a general security measure, Siemens recommends protecting network access to devices with appropriate mechanisms. To
operate the devices in a protected IT environment, Siemens recommends configuring the environment according to Siemens'
operational guidelines for industrial security and following recommendations in the product manuals.

Additional information on industrial security by Siemens can be found on the Siemens industrial security webpage
