Summary
SSA-201384: Predictable UDP Port Number Vulnerability (NAME:WRECK) in the DNS Module of Nucleus RTOS

Notes

Summary
Security researchers discovered and disclosed 9 vulnerabilities in several DNS implementations, also known as “NAME:WRECK” vulnerabilities. The vulnerability described in this advisory is from this set. The DNS client of of the networking component (Nucleus NET) in Nucleus Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) contains a vulnerability related to the handling of UDP port numbers in DNS requests that could allow an attacker to poison the DNS cache or spoof DNS resolving. Siemens has released updates for several affected products and recommends to update to the latest versions. Siemens recommends specific countermeasures for products where updates are not available.
General Recommendations
As a general security measure, Siemens strongly recommends to protect network access to devices with appropriate mechanisms. In order to operate the devices in a protected IT environment, Siemens recommends to configure the environment according to Siemens' operational guidelines for Industrial Security (Download: https://www.siemens.com/cert/operational-guidelines-industrial-security), and to follow the recommendations in the product manuals.
