Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 TM MFP Improper Input Validation (CVE-2026-46018)

medium Tenable OT Security Plugin ID 506458

Synopsis

The remote OT asset is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

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

ALSA: usb-audio: stop parsing UAC2 rates at MAX_NR_RATES

parse_uac2_sample_rate_range() caps the number of enumerated rates at MAX_NR_RATES, but it only breaks out of the current rate loop. A malformed UAC2 RANGE response with additional triplets continues parsing the remaining triplets and repeatedly prints 'invalid uac2 rates' while probe still holds register_mutex.

Stop the whole parse once the cap is reached and return the number of rates collected so far.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
