Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 TM MFP Improper Input Validation (CVE-2026-53183)

high Tenable OT Security Plugin ID 506285

Synopsis

The remote OT asset is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

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

mptcp: allow subflow rcv wnd to shrink

In MPTCP connection, the `window` field in the TCP header refers to the MPTCP-level rcv_nxt and it's right edge should not move backward. Such constraint is enforced at DSS option generation time.

At the same time, the TCP stack ensures independently that the TCP-level rcv wnd right's edge does not move backward. That in turn causes artificial inflating of the MPTCP rcv window when the incoming data is acked at the TCP level and is OoO in the MPTCP sequence space (or lands in the backlog).

As a consequence, the incoming traffic can exceed the receiver rcvbuf size even when the sender is not misbehaving.

Prevent such scenario forcibly allowing the TCP subflow to shrink the TCP-level rcv wnd regardless of the current netns setting.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
