CVE-2022-2502

Published Jul 26, 2023 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
A vulnerability exists in the HCI IEC 60870-5-104 function included in certain versions of the RTU500 series product. The vulnerability can only be exploited, if the HCI 60870-5-104 is configured with support for IEC 62351-5 and the CMU contains the license feature ‘Advanced security’ which must be ordered separately. If these preconditions are fulfilled, an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending a specially crafted message to the RTU500, causing the targeted RTU500 CMU to reboot. The vulnerability is caused by a missing input data validation which eventually if exploited causes an internal buffer to overflow in the HCI IEC 60870-5-104 function.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Update to CMU Firmware versions 13.3.3 or 13.4.1.


Vendor Workaround

Disable the HCI IEC 60870-5-104 function or its IEC 62351-5 feature if it is not used.
