Vulnerabilities
Expand / Collapse allCrafted web server requests can be utilised to read partial stack or heap memory or may trigger a denial-of- service condition due to a crash in the CODESYS V2 web server prior to V1.1.9.22.
A crafted request with invalid offsets may cause an out-of-bounds read or write access in CODESYS V2 Runtime Toolkit 32 Bit full and PLCWinNT prior to versions V2.4.7.56, resulting in a denial-of-service condition or local memory overwrite.
In the CODESYS V2 web server prior to V1.1.9.22 crafted web server requests may cause a Null pointer dereference in the CODESYS web server and may result in a denial-of-service condition.
In the CODESYS V2 web server prior to V1.1.9.22 crafted web server requests can trigger a parser error. Since the parser result is not checked under all conditions, a pointer dereference with an invalid address can occur. This leads to a denial of service situation.
Crafted web server requests may cause a heap-based buffer overflow and could therefore trigger a denial-of- service condition due to a crash in the CODESYS V2 web server prior to V1.1.9.22.
A crafted request may cause a read access to an uninitialized pointer in CODESYS V2 Runtime Toolkit 32 Bit full and PLCWinNT prior to versions V2.4.7.56, resulting in a denial-of-service condition.
Mitigation
- Use general security best practices to protect systems from local and network attacks.
- Do not allow direct access to the device from untrusted networks.
- Update to the latest firmware according to the table in chapter solutions.
- Disable the CODESYS 2.3 WebVisualisation and CODESYS 2.3 port 2455.
