Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 TM MFP Linux Kernel NULL Pointer Dereference (CVE-2023-1095)

medium Tenable OT Security Plugin ID 503041

Synopsis

The remote OT asset is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

In nf_tables_updtable, if nf_tables_table_enable returns an error, nft_trans_destroy is called to free the transaction object.
nft_trans_destroy() calls list_del(), but the transaction was never placed on a list -- the list head is all zeroes, this results in a NULL pointer dereference.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
