Summary
SSA-501073: Vulnerabilities in Controllers CPU 1518 MFP using Intel CPUs (November 2020)

Notes

Summary
Intel has published information on vulnerabilities in Intel products in November 2020. This advisory lists the Siemens Controllers that are affected by these vulnerabilities. In this advisory we take a representative CVE from each advisory: - “Intel CSME, SPS, TXE, AMT and DAL Advisory” Intel-SA-00391 is represented by CVE-2020-8744 - “BIOS Advisory” Intel-SA-00358 is represented by CVE-2020-0591. Siemens is currently working on BIOS updates that include chipset microcode updates and recommends specific countermeasures for products where updates are not, or not yet 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. Additional information on Industrial Security by Siemens can be found at: https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity
