Synopsis

The remote Siemens SCALANCE S612 firewall is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The Siemens SCALANCE S612 firewall device has a firmware version that is greater than 2.1 and prior to 2.3.0.3. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- A brute-force weakness exists due to a failure to enforce time delays between failed login attempts. This allows a remote attacker to perform rapid, multiple authentication attempts within a short time frame.
(CVE-2012-1799)
- A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Profinet DCP protocol implementation due to a failure to correctly handle unexpected input. A remote attacker, using a specially crafted DCP frame, can crash the DCP protocol stack, resulting in a denial of service condition or possible arbitrary code execution.
(CVE-2012-1800)

Solution

Upgrade to firmware release 2.3.0.3 or later.
