Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Siemens RUGGEDCOM RM1224, SCALANCE M-800, SCALANCE S615, SCALANCE SC-600 Family, SCALANCE X300WG, SCALANCE XM400, SCALANCE XR500 and SCALANCE Xx200 Family and classified as critical. This issue affects an unknown part of the component STP BPDU Frame Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a stack-based overflow vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-121. A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function). Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

A vulnerability has been identified in RUGGEDCOM RM1224 (All versions >= V4.3 and < V6.4), SCALANCE M-800 (All versions >= V4.3 and < V6.4), SCALANCE S615 (All versions >= V4.3 and < V6.4), SCALANCE SC-600 Family (All versions >= V2.0 and < V2.1.3), SCALANCE XB-200 (All versions < V4.1), SCALANCE XC-200 (All versions < V4.1), SCALANCE XF-200BA (All versions < V4.1), SCALANCE XM400 (All versions < V6.2), SCALANCE XP-200 (All versions < V4.1), SCALANCE XR-300WG (All versions < V4.1), SCALANCE XR500 (All versions < V6.2). Affected devices contain a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the handling of STP BPDU frames that could allow a remote attacker to trigger a denial-of-service condition or potentially remote code execution. Successful exploitation requires the passive listening feature of the device to be active.

The weakness was presented 03/16/2021 as ssa-979775. The advisory is shared at cert-portal.siemens.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2021-25667. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available.
