2Description
A vulnerability exists in the RTU500 web server component that can cause a denial of service to the RTU500 CMU application if a specially crafted message sequence is executed on a WebSocket connection. An attacker must be properly authenticated and the test mode function of RTU500 must be enabled to exploit this vulnerability. The affected CMU will automatically recover itself if an attacker successfully exploits this vulnerability.
Analysis
A vulnerability exists in the RTU500 web server component that can cause a denial of service to the RTU500 CMU application if a specially crafted message sequence is executed on a WebSocket. Rated medium severity (CVSS 5.9), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable. No vendor patch available.
Technical Context
This vulnerability is classified as NULL Pointer Dereference (CWE-476), which allows attackers to crash the application by dereferencing a null pointer. A vulnerability exists in the RTU500 web server component that can cause a denial of service to the RTU500 CMU application if a specially crafted message sequence is executed on a WebSocket connection. An attacker must be properly authenticated and the test mode function of RTU500 must be enabled to exploit this vulnerability. The affected CMU will automatically recover itself if an attacker successfully exploits this vulnerability.
Affected Products
See vendor advisory for affected versions.
Remediation
No vendor patch is available at time of analysis. Monitor vendor advisories for updates. Check pointers before dereferencing. Use static analysis tools to detect null pointer paths.
