Summary

The Linux kernel starting from 5.8 has a flaw which can lead to privilege escalation for a local user. The kernel is used in several Versions of the FW of several WAGO products. All vulnerable PLCs are listed in chapter ‘Affected Products’.

CVE ID

CVE-2022-0847 

Last Update:

Aug. 30, 2024, 9:29 a.m.

Severity

7.8 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) 

Weakness

Improper Preservation of Permissions  (CWE-281) 

Summary

A flaw was found in the way the "flags" member of the new pipe buffer structure was lacking proper initialization in copy_page_to_iter_pipe and push_pipe functions in the Linux kernel and could thus contain stale values. An unprivileged local user could use this flaw to write to pages in the page cache backed by read only files and as such escalate their privileges on the system.

Details

nvd.nist.gov 

Impact

An unprivileged user can use the “pipe” functionality in the Linux kernel to write to read only files. This can lead to privilege escalation, because in this way unprivileged processes can inject code into root processes.

Solution

Mitigation

  • Restrict network access to the device.
  • Use strong passwords
