Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • A structured source references public exploit or proof-of-concept material.
  • The selected CVSS metric records a network-reachable, unauthenticated path with no user interaction.
  • EPSS is 4.52% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
  • Restrict the affected network interface to trusted sources where business-safe.
  • Increase monitoring for the attack path and post-exploitation behaviour described in the report.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs Unknown Unknown and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: Within 30 daysRemediation target: Within 180 days

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

What, why and how

The Treck TCP/IP stack before 6.0.1.66 has a TCP Out-of-bounds Read.

What

The Treck TCP/IP stack before 6.0.1.66 has a TCP Out-of-bounds Read.

Why

The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
Reference recorded

A structured CVE source labels at least one public reference as exploit material. BlackTree has not independently validated that it is safe, reliable or weaponised.

Likely attack path
a network path → Out-of-bounds Read → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor

CERT-FR · French · CERTFR-2020-AVI-375[MàJ] Multiples vulnérabilités dans la pile TCP/IP de Treck

Le 16 juin 2020, des chercheurs ont annoncé la découverte de dix-neuf vulnérabilités dans l'implémentation de la pile TCP/IP de Treck. Ce composant est utilisé dans de nombreux systèmes embarqués et objets connectés, dont certains équipements médicaux et équipements de contrôle industriel. Les vulnérabilités les plus critiques permettent une exécution de code arbitraire à distance. Lorsque des vulnérabilités sont découvertes dans un composant d'aussi bas niveau, il est très difficile de compiler une liste exhaustive de produits vulnérables. De plus, la simple présence de ce composant dans un produit n'implique pas forcément que celui-ci est vulnérable, parce que la vulnérabilité a déjà été corrigée ou encore parce que ce composant a été modifié et que la vulnérabilité n'est pas forcément atteignable. Le CERT Carneggie Mellon ainsi que les chercheurs ont proposé sur leurs sites respectifs une liste de produits vulnérables et certains éditeurs ont déjà communiqué sur le statut de leurs produits (cf. section Documentation). Parmi les dix-neuf vulnérabilités, les trois les plus critiques sont identifiées comme : CVE-2020-11896 : des datagrammes UDP fragmentés sur plusieurs paquets IP peuvent permettre un exécution de code arbitraire à distance ou un déni de service à distance sur des équipements avec une fonction d'IP Tunneling activée ; CVE-2020-11897 : des paquets IPv6 mal formés permettent une exécution de code arbitraire à distance [1] ; CVE-2020-11901 : une réponse DNS mal formée permet une exécution de code arbitraire à distance. Si ces vulnérabilités sont jugées critiques, leur impact est atténué par les conditions d’exploitabilité. Il convient donc de vérifier dans un premier temps si les équipements en bordure de réseau sont dans une configuration vulnérable. Si c'est le cas, il faut alors appliquer les mises à jour si elles sont disponibles ou mettre en œuvre les mesures de contournement. [mise à jour du 26 octobre 2020] Les avis de sécurité Schneider Electric SEVD-2020-174-01 et SEVD-2020-175-01 ont été mis à jour le 22 octobre 2020 suite à la découverte d'impacts supplémentaires sur les produits Schneider. Des correctifs sont en cours de développement, certains ont déjà été publiés et des mesures de contournement sont identifiées et listées dans les avis à jour. [1] cette vulnérabilité a été corrigée dans la version 5.0.1.35, sans être accompagnée d'un avis de sécurité à l'époque de sa mise à disposition.
