Impact

Pepperl+Fuchs analyzed and identified affected devices.
Remote attackers may exploit multiple vulnerabilities to get access to the device and
execute any program and tap information.

Solution

In order to prevent the exploitation of the reported vulnerabilities, we recommend that the
affected units be updated with the following three firmware packages:

  • U-Boot bootloader version 1.36 or newer
  • System image version 1.52 or newer
  • Application base version 1.6.11 or newer

Furthermore, it is always recommended to observe the following measures if the affected
products are connected to public networks:

  1. An external protective measure to be put in place.
    Traffic from untrusted networks to the device should be blocked by a firewall.
    Especially traffic targeting the administration webpage.
  2. Device user accounts to be enabled with secure passwords.
    If non-trusted people/applications have access to the network that the device is connected to, then configuring passwords for all three User Accounts is recommend.
