Vigil@nce - SIMATIC: code execution via a DLL
March 2015 by Vigil@nce
This bulletin was written by Vigil@nce : http://vigilance.fr/offer
SYNTHESIS OF THE VULNERABILITY
An attacker can create a malicious DLL, and store it in a
directory and invite the victim to open a SIMATIC document from
this directory, in order to execute code.
Impacted products: SIMATIC
Severity: 2/4
Creation date: 05/03/2015
DESCRIPTION OF THE VULNERABILITY
The following products can be installed on Windows:
– SIMATIC ProSave
– SIMATIC CFC
– SIMATIC STEP 7
– SIMATIC PCS 7
They use a DLL. However, the access path to this DLL is not fully
specified, so the DLL is first loaded from the current directory
(VIGILANCE-VUL-9879).
An attacker can therefore create a malicious DLL, and store it in
a directory and invite the victim to open a SIMATIC document from
this directory, in order to execute code.
