Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Siemens Cerberus PRO EN Engineering Tool, Cerberus PRO EN Fire Panel FC72x, Cerberus PRO EN X200 Cloud Distribution, Cerberus PRO EN X300 Cloud Distribution, Sinteso FS20 EN Engineering Tool, Sinteso FS20 EN Fire Panel FC20, Sinteso FS20 EN X200 Cloud Distribution, Sinteso FS20 EN X300 Cloud Distribution and Sinteso Mobile (Cloud Software). This affects an unknown function of the component Network Communication Library. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a out-of-bounds vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-125. The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:

A vulnerability has been identified in Cerberus PRO EN Engineering Tool (All versions), Cerberus PRO EN Fire Panel FC72x (All versions < IP8 SR4), Cerberus PRO EN X200 Cloud Distribution (All versions < V4.3.5618), Cerberus PRO EN X300 Cloud Distribution (All versions < V4.3.5617), Sinteso FS20 EN Engineering Tool (All versions), Sinteso FS20 EN Fire Panel FC20 (All versions < MP8 SR4), Sinteso FS20 EN X200 Cloud Distribution (All versions < V4.3.5618), Sinteso FS20 EN X300 Cloud Distribution (All versions < V4.3.5617), Sinteso Mobile (All versions). The network communication library in affected systems insufficiently validates HMAC values which might result in a buffer overread. This could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to crash the network service.

The weakness was presented 03/12/2024 as ssa-225840. The advisory is shared at cert-portal.siemens.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2024-22040 since 01/04/2024. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available.
