Siemens LOGO! CMR and SIMATIC RTU 3000 Incorrect Calculation of Buffer Size (CVE-2020-36475)

high Tenable OT Security Plugin ID 501676

Synopsis

The remote OT asset is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

An issue was discovered in Mbed TLS before 2.25.0 (and before 2.16.9 LTS and before 2.7.18 LTS). The calculations performed by mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod are not limited; thus, supplying overly large parameters could lead to denial of service when generating Diffie- Hellman key pairs.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
