Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 TM MFP Improper Input Validation (CVE-2026-46191)

high Tenable OT Security Plugin ID 506441

Synopsis

The remote OT asset is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

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

fbcon: Avoid OOB font access if console rotation fails

Clear the font buffer if the reallocation during console rotation fails in fbcon_rotate_font(). The putcs implementations for the rotated buffer will return early in this case. See [1] for an example.

Currently, fbcon_rotate_font() keeps the old buffer, which is too small for the rotated font. Printing to the rotated console with a high-enough character code will overflow the font buffer.

v2:
- fix typos in commit message

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
