Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 TM MFP NULL Pointer Dereference (CVE-2024-57981)

medium Tenable OT Security Plugin ID 503386

Synopsis

The remote OT asset is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

usb: xhci: NULL pointer dereference on certain command aborts. If a command is queued to the final usable TRB of a ring segment, the enqueue pointer is advanced to the subsequent link TRB and no further.
If the command is later aborted, when the abort completion is handled the dequeue pointer is advanced to the first TRB of the next segment.
If no further commands are queued, xhci_handle_stopped_cmd_ring() sees the ring pointers unequal and assumes that there is a pending command, so it calls xhci_mod_cmd_timer() which crashes if cur_cmd was NULL.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
