UNDERSTANDING AND MITIGATING CVE-2024-41170: SIEMENS TECNOMATIX PLANT SIMULATION
STACK-BASED BUFFER OVERFLOW

Published on: 09-11-2024 By Soc Team


INTRODUCTION

A critical vulnerability has been identified in Siemens Tecnomatix Plant
Simulation software, specifically affecting versions V2302 and V2404. Designated
as CVE-2024-41170, this stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability poses
significant security risks, potentially allowing attackers to execute code
within the current process context.



VULNERABILITY DETAILS

Disclosed on September 10, 2024, CVE-2024-41170 affects the following versions
of the Tecnomatix Plant Simulation software:

 * Tecnomatix Plant Simulation V2302 (versions earlier than V2302.0015)
 * Tecnomatix Plant Simulation V2404 (versions earlier than V2404.0004)

This vulnerability arises due to a stack-based overflow that occurs during the
parsing of specially crafted SPP files. The weakness has been categorized under
CWE-121, emphasizing the risk of stack-based buffer overflow. The CVSS v3.1 base
score is 7.8, while the CVSS v4.0 base score is 7.3, both indicating a high
severity level.



TECHNICAL IMPACT

The stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability can lead to severe consequences
such as:

 * Execution of arbitrary code within the context of the affected process
 * Potential compromise of system confidentiality, integrity, and availability



MITIGATION STRATEGIES

To safeguard against potential exploitation of CVE-2024-41170, the following
mitigation steps are recommended:

1. Update to Patched Versions

Siemens has released updates addressing this vulnerability. Users are urged to
update to version V2302.0015 or later for the V2302 series, and version
V2404.0004 or later for the V2404 series.


2. Secure Handling of SPP Files

Avoid handling untrusted or suspicious SPP files, as these could be crafted to
exploit this vulnerability.


3. Implement Access Controls

Restrict access to the affected software to trusted users only. Implement user
authentication and limit permissions to prevent unauthorized file access.


4. Employ Network Segmentation

Isolate systems running Tecnomatix Plant Simulation software from other critical
network components. This can reduce the potential blast radius if an attack
occurs.


5. Monitor and Log Activities

Regularly monitor logs and system activities to detect unusual behavior.
Employers should use intrusion detection systems to identify potential
exploitation attempts.


For further information, users can refer to the official Siemens security
advisory: SSA-427715.



CONCLUSION

While CVE-2024-41170 presents a serious security threat, timely updates and
adherence to best practices can mitigate the risks. Organizations using Siemens
Tecnomatix Plant Simulation software must prioritize upgrading to the patched
versions to ensure their systems remain secure.
