TITLE

Rockwell Automation ControlLogix Firmware upload vulnerability

Trust: 0.8

sources: IVD: 20403e12-2353-11e6-abef-000c29c66e3d // CNVD: CNVD-2013-00289

DESCRIPTION

The device does not properly authenticate users and the potential exists for a remote user to upload a new firmware image to the Ethernet card, whether it is a corrupt or legitimate firmware image. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could cause loss of availability, integrity, and confidentiality and a disruption in communications with other connected devices. Rockwell Automation EtherNet/IP products; 1756-ENBT, 1756-EWEB, 1768-ENBT, and 1768-EWEB communication modules; CompactLogix L32E and L35E controllers; 1788-ENBT FLEXLogix adapter; 1794-AENTR FLEX I/O EtherNet/IP adapter; ControlLogix 18 and earlier; CompactLogix 18 and earlier; GuardLogix 18 and earlier; SoftLogix 18 and earlier; CompactLogix controllers 19 and earlier; SoftLogix controllers 19 and earlier; ControlLogix controllers 20 and earlier; GuardLogix controllers 20 and earlier; and MicroLogix 1100 and 1400. plural Rockwell Automation Products, Ethernet There is a vulnerability that allows arbitrary code to be executed due to improper authentication when updating firmware.A third party may be able to execute arbitrary code via a Trojan update image. Rockwell Automation MicroLogix is a programmable controller platform. Rockwell's products are affected by this vulnerability: all EtherNet/IP products that comply with CIP and EtherNet/IP specifications
