Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 TM MFP Improper Input Validation (CVE-2026-46003)

medium Tenable OT Security Plugin ID 506262

Synopsis

The remote OT asset is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: qrtr: ns: Limit the total number of nodes

Currently, the nameserver doesn't limit the number of nodes it handles.
This can be an attack vector if a malicious client starts registering random nodes, leading to memory exhaustion.

Hence, limit the maximum number of nodes to 64. Note that, limit of 64 is chosen based on the current platform requirements. If requirement changes in the future, this limit can be increased.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
