Siemens SCALANCE and RUGGEDCOM Buffer Over-read (CVE-2024-6874)

medium Tenable OT Security Plugin ID 505106

Synopsis

The remote OT asset is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

libcurl's URL API function [curl_url_get()](https://curl.se/libcurl/c/curl_url_get.html) offers punycode conversions, to and from IDN. Asking to convert a name that is exactly 256 bytes, libcurl ends up reading outside of a stack based buffer when built to use the *macidn* IDN backend. The conversion function then fills up the provided buffer exactly - but does not null terminate the string. This flaw can lead to stack contents accidently getting returned as part of the converted string.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
