Summary

An attacker needs an authorized login on the device in order to exploit the herein mentioned vulnerabilities.

The reported vulnerabilities allow a local attacker with valid login credentials who is able to create files on the device to change the devices settings, e.g. default gateway address, time server etc. and potentially execute code.

Vulnerabilities



Last Update

Weakness
Out-of-bounds Write (CWE-787)
Summary

An exploitable stack buffer overflow vulnerability vulnerability exists in the iocheckd service ‘I/O-Check’ functionality of WAGO PFC 200 Firmware version 03.02.02(14). An attacker can send a specially crafted packet to trigger the parsing of this cache file. The destination buffer sp+0x440 is overflowed with the call to sprintf() for any ip values that are greater than 1024-len(‘/etc/config-tools/config_interfaces interface=X1 state=enabled ip-address=‘) in length. A ip value of length 0x3da will cause the service to crash.

An exploitable stack buffer overflow vulnerability vulnerability exists in the iocheckd service "I/O-Check" functionality of WAGO PFC 200. An attacker can send a specially crafted packet to trigger the parsing of this cache file. At 0x1ea28 the extracted state value from the xml file is used as an argument to /etc/config-tools/config_interfaces interface=X1 state= using sprintf().

Later, at 0x1ea08 strcpy() is used to copy the contents of the stack buffer that was overflowed sp+0x40 into sp+0x440. The buffer sp+0x440 is immediately adjacent to sp+0x40 on the stack. Therefore, there is no NULL termination on the buffer sp+0x40 since it overflowed into sp+0x440. The strcpy() will result in invalid memory access. An state value of length 0x3c9 will cause the service to crash.

Impact

By exploiting the described vulnerabilities the attacker potentially is able manipulate or disrupt the device.

Solution

Mitigation

Disable I/O-Check service
Restrict network access to the device.
Do not directly connect the device to the internet.
Disable unused TCP/UDP-ports

Solution

The I/O-Check service protocol is only needed during installation and commissioning, not during normal operations. It is highly recommended to disable the I/O-Check service after commissioning. This is the easiest and securest way to protect your device from the listed vulnerabilities.
Regardless of the action described above, the vulnerabilities are expected to be fixed in FW16 Release in Q2/2020.
