Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Siemens RUGGEDCOM ROX II Family up to 2.16.x. It has been classified as critical. This affects some unknown processing. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-74. The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

A vulnerability has been identified in RUGGEDCOM ROX MX5000 (All versions < V2.17.0), RUGGEDCOM ROX MX5000RE (All versions < V2.17.0), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1400 (All versions < V2.17.0), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1500 (All versions < V2.17.0), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1501 (All versions < V2.17.0), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1510 (All versions < V2.17.0), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1511 (All versions < V2.17.0), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1512 (All versions < V2.17.0), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1524 (All versions < V2.17.0), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1536 (All versions < V2.17.0), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX5000 (All versions < V2.17.0). Code injection can be achieved when the affected device is using VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding). An attacker could leverage this scenario to execute arbitrary code as root user.
