Sprecher Automation SPRECON-E TCP SACK PANIC (CVE-2019-11478)

high Tenable OT Security Plugin ID 501750

Synopsis

The remote OT asset is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

Jonathan Looney discovered that the TCP retransmission queue implementation in tcp_fragment in the Linux kernel could be fragmented when handling certain TCP Selective Acknowledgment (SACK) sequences. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. This has been fixed in stable kernel releases 4.4.182, 4.9.182, 4.14.127, 4.19.52, 5.1.11, and is fixed in commit f070ef2ac66716357066b683fb0baf55f8191a2e.

An analysis for SPRECON-E systems lead to the result, that only FALCON (PU244x) and T3 MC33/34 product series are affected.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
