MES PC Windows 10

Summary

MES PCs shipped with Windows 10 come pre-installed with XAMPP. XAMPP is a bundle of third-party open-source applications including the Apache HTTP Server, the MariaDB database and more. From time to time, vulnerabilities in these applications are discovered. These are fixed in newer versions of XAMPP by updating the bundled applications.


MES PCs shipped with Windows 10 include a copy of XAMPP which contains around 140 such vulnerabilities listed in this advisory. They can be fixed by replacing XAMPP with Festo Didactic's Factory Control Panel application.


The vulnerabilities covered by this advisory have a broad range of impacts ranging from denial-ofservice to disclosure or manipulation/deletion of information. Given the intended usage of MES PCs for didactic purposes in controlled lab environments, separate from productive systems, it never comes into contact with sensitive information. Therefore the impact is reduced to limited availability of the system.

Overall, the product is affected by the following CVEs:

CVEs: CVE-2006-20001, CVE-2013-6501, CVE-2014-9705, CVE-2014-9709, CVE-2015-2301, CVE-2015-2348, CVE-2015-2787, CVE-2016-3078, CVE-2016-5385, CVE-2018-12882, CVE-2018-14851, CVE-2018-14883, CVE-2018-17082, CVE-2018-19518, CVE-2018-19935, CVE-2019-9020, CVE-2019-9021, CVE-2019-9022, CVE-2019-9023, CVE-2019-9024, CVE-2019-9025, CVE-2019-9637, CVE-2019-9638, CVE-2019-9639, CVE-2019-9640, CVE-2019-9641, CVE-2019-11034, CVE-2019-11035, CVE-2019-11036, CVE-2019-11039, CVE-2019-11040, CVE-2019-11041, CVE-2019-11042, CVE-2019-11043, CVE-2019-11044, CVE-2019-11045, CVE-2019-11046, CVE-2019-11047, CVE-2019-11048, CVE-2019-11049, CVE-2019-11050, CVE-2020-2752, CVE-2020-2760, CVE-2020-2780, CVE-2020-2812, CVE-2020-2814, CVE-2020-2922, CVE-2020-7059, CVE-2020-7060, CVE-2020-7061, CVE-2020-7062, CVE-2020-7063, CVE-2020-7064, CVE-2020-7065, CVE-2020-7066, CVE-2020-7068, CVE-2020-7069, CVE-2020-7070, CVE-2020-7071, CVE-2021-2007, CVE-2021-2011, CVE-2021-2022, CVE-2021-2032, CVE-2021-2144, CVE-2021-2154, CVE-2021-2166, CVE-2021-2174, CVE-2021-2180, CVE-2021-2194, CVE-2021-2372, CVE-2021-2389, CVE-2021-21702, CVE-2021-21703, CVE-2021-21704, CVE-2021-21705, CVE-2021-21706, CVE-2021-21707, CVE-2021-21708, CVE-2021-27928, CVE-2021-35604, CVE-2021-46661, CVE-2021-46662, CVE-2021-46663, CVE-2021-46664, CVE-2021-46665, CVE-2021-46666, CVE-2021-46667, CVE-2021-46668, CVE-2021-46669, CVE-2022-4900, CVE-2022-21595, CVE-2022-23807, CVE-2022-23808, CVE-2022-27376, CVE-2022-27377, CVE-2022-27378, CVE-2022-27379, CVE-2022-27380, CVE-2022-27381, CVE-2022-27382, CVE-2022-27383, CVE-2022-27384, CVE-2022-27385, CVE-2022-27386, CVE-2022-27387, CVE-2022-27444, CVE-2022-27445, CVE-2022-27446, CVE-2022-27447, CVE-2022-27448, CVE-2022-27449, CVE-2022-27451, CVE-2022-27452, CVE-2022-27455, CVE-2022-27456, CVE-2022-27457, CVE-2022-27458, CVE-2022-31625, CVE-2022-31626, CVE-2022-31628, CVE-2022-31629, CVE-2022-32081, CVE-2022-32082, CVE-2022-32083, CVE-2022-32084, CVE-2022-32085, CVE-2022-32086, CVE-2022-32087, CVE-2022-32088, CVE-2022-32089, CVE-2022-32091, CVE-2022-36760, CVE-2022-37436, CVE-2023-0567, CVE-2023-0568, CVE-2023-0662, CVE-2023-25690, CVE-2023-25727, CVE-2023-27522

Weakness
Use After Free (CWE-416)
Summary
exif_read_from_impl in ext/exif/exif.c in PHP 7.2.x through 7.2.7 allows attackers to trigger a use-after-free (in exif_read_from_file) because it closes a stream that it is not responsible for closing. The vulnerable code is reachable through the PHP exif_read_data function.
Last Update
27. Juni 2023 14:28
Weakness
Integer Overflow or Wraparound (CWE-190)
Summary
Multiple integer overflows in php_zip.c in the zip extension in PHP before 7.0.6 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted call to (1) getFromIndex or (2) getFromName in the ZipArchive class.
Last Update
27. Juni 2023 14:38
Weakness
Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request/Response Smuggling') (CWE-444)
Summary
Some mod_proxy configurations on Apache HTTP Server versions 2.4.0 through 2.4.55 allow a HTTP Request Smuggling attack. Configurations are affected when mod_proxy is enabled along with some form of RewriteRule or ProxyPassMatch in which a non-specific pattern matches some portion of the user-supplied request-target (URL) data and is then re-inserted into the proxied request-target using variable substitution. For example, something like: RewriteEngine on RewriteRule "^/here/(.*)" "http://example.com:8080/elsewhere?$1"; [P] ProxyPassReverse /here/ http://example.com:8080/ Request splitting/smuggling could result in bypass of access controls in the proxy server, proxying unintended URLs to existing origin servers, and cache poisoning. Users are recommended to update to at least version 2.4.56 of Apache HTTP Server.

Solution

General recommendations

Festo Didactic offers products with security functions that aid the safe operation of plants, systems, machines and networks. In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks from cyber threats, a comprehensive security concept must be implemented and continuously updated. Festo's products and services only constitute one part of such a concept. 

The customer is responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems, machines and networks. Systems, machines and components should only be connected to a company's network or the Internet if and as necessary, and only when the suitable security measures (e.g., firewalls and network segmentation, defense-in-depth) are in place. Failure to ensure adequate security measures when connecting the product to the network can result in vulnerabilities which allow unauthorized, remote access to the network — even beyond the product boundaries. This access could be abused to incur a loss of data or manipulate or sabotage systems.

Typical forms of attack include but are not limited to: Denial-of-Service (rendering the system temporarily nonfunctional), remote execution of malicious code, privilege escalation (executing malicious code with higher system privileges than expected), ransomware (encryption of data and demanding payment for decryption). In the context of industrial systems and machines this can also lead to unsafe states, posing a danger to people and equipment.

Furthermore, Festo's guidelines on suitable security measures should be observed. Festo products and solutions are constantly being developed further in order to make them more secure. Festo strongly recommends that customers install product updates as soon as they become available and always use the latest versions of its products. Any use of product versions that are no longer supported or any failure to install the latest updates may render the customer vulnerable to cyberattacks.

Remediation

For all CVEs:
Festo Didactic has released Factory Control Panel as a replacement for XAMPP on its MES PCs. Contact technical support at services.didactic@festo.com to obtain the current version of Factory Control Panel which includes fixes for these vulnerabilities.
