3.2 VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW 3.2.1 BUFFER COPY WITHOUT CHECKING SIZE OF INPUT (‘CLASSIC BUFFER OVERFLOW’) CWE-120 In all versions of Mitsubishi Electric CNC series devices, a malicious remote attacker could cause a denial-of-service condition and execute malicious code by sending specially crafted packets. CVE-2023-3346 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 9.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). 3.3 BACKGROUND CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE SECTORS: Critical Manufacturing COUNTRIES/AREAS DEPLOYED: Worldwide COMPANY HEADQUARTERS LOCATION: Japan 3.4 RESEARCHER 01dGu0 of Zhejiang Qian Information & Technology Co., LTD reported this vulnerability to Mitsubishi Electric.
- MITIGATIONS To minimize the risk, Mitsubishi Electric recommends customers apply the following mitigations: Use a firewall or virtual private network (VPN), etc. to prevent unauthorized access when Internet access is required. Install anti-virus software on the PC that can access the product. Use within a LAN and block access from untrusted networks and hosts through firewalls. Restrict physical access to the affected product and the LAN to which the product is connected. CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of this vulnerability. Specifically, users should:
Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, and ensure they are not accessible from the Internet. CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures. CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices on the ICS webpage at cisa.gov/ics. Several CISA products detailing cyber defense best practices are available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies. Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available on the ICS webpage at cisa.gov/ics in the technical information paper, ICS-TIP-12-146-01B–Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation Strategies. Organizations observing suspected malicious activity should follow established internal procedures and report findings to CISA for tracking and correlation against other incidents. No known public exploits specifically target this vulnerability.
