Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 TM MFP Improper Input Validation (CVE-2026-31699)

high Tenable OT Security Plugin ID 506337

Synopsis

The remote OT asset is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

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

crypto: ccp: Don't attempt to copy CSR to userspace if PSP command failed

When retrieving the PEK CSR, don't attempt to copy the blob to userspace if the firmware command failed. If the failure was due to an invalid length, i.e. the userspace buffer+length was too small, copying the number of bytes _firmware_ requires will overflow the kernel-allocated buffer and leak data to userspace.

WARN if the driver says the command succeeded, but the firmware error code says otherwise, as __sev_do_cmd_locked() is expected to return -EIO on any firwmware error.
