Summary
SSA-675303: WIBU Systems CodeMeter Runtime Vulnerabilities in Siemens Products

Notes

Summary
WIBU Systems published information about two vulnerabilities and an associated fix release version of CodeMeter Runtime, a product provided by WIBU Systems and used in several Siemens products for license management. The vulnerabilities are described in the section "Vulnerability Classification" below and got assigned the CVE IDs CVE-2021-20093 and CVE-2021-20094. Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to read data from the heap of the CodeMeter Runtime network server, or crash the CodeMeter Runtime Server (i.e., CodeMeter.exe). 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, 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
