EUVD-2019-2667 | ABB, Phoenix Contact, Schneider Electric, Siemens, WAGO - Programmable Logic Controllers, multiple versions. Researchers have found some controllers are susceptible to a denial-of-service attack due to a flood of network packets. |
Solution
Fixes are available in Schneider Electric Modicon M221 firmware v1.10.0.0 and EcoStruxure Machine Expert – Basic v1.0 software (formerly SoMachine Basic) using either of the following options: Use this link to download the Machine Expert Basic software. Or run the Schneider Electric Software Update tool in order to download and install EcoStruxure Machine Expert – Basic v1.0 software. For additional information, see the Schneider Electric security notice SEVD-2019-045-01. (https://download.schneider-electric.com/files?p_Doc_Ref=SEVD-2019-045-01) Schneider Electric strongly recommends following industry cybersecurity best practices, such as: * Physical controls should be in place so no unauthorized person would have access to the ICS and safety controllers, peripheral equipment, or the ICS and safety networks. * All controllers should reside in locked cabinets and never be left in the “Program” mode. * All programming software should be kept in locked cabinets and should never be connected to any network other than the network for the devices it is intended. * All methods of mobile data exchange with the isolated network (e.g., CDs, USB drives, etc.) should be scanned before use in terminals or any node connected to these networks. * Laptops that have connected to any other network besides the intended network should never be allowed to connect to the safety or control networks without proper sanitation.
Workaround
ABB concludes the reported behavior is not a vulnerability but is due to a misconfiguration of the PLC watchdog, which was left in the default factory settings. This has led to a configuration that does not match the expectations expressed in the test cases and the result is the PLC not reacting as intended. This misconfiguration can be fixed by setting an appropriate combination of task priority, task cycle time, and watchdog settings. Please see the “Onboard Ethernet Handling in CPU Firmware” chapter (System Technology for AC500 V2 Products > System Technology of CPU and Overall System > Onboard Technologies > Ethernet > Ethernet Protocols and Ports for AC500 V2 Products > Onboard Ethernet Handling in CPU Firmware) for further guidance.
