Denial of Service in PLC Runtime affecting Rexroth IndraMotion Products

BOSCH-SA-152060

Advisory Information

Summary

The control systems IndraMotion MTX, MLC and MLD sold by Bosch Rexroth contain technology from CODESYS GmbH. The manufacturer published security bulletins [1], [2] about weaknesses in the communication interface of the PLC runtime. By exploiting these vulnerabilities, the control device can be put into a state in which network queries are no longer answered. To restore the device to a proper state, it must be restarted.

These vulnerabilities affect all available software versions of Rexroth IndraMotion MTX, MLC and MLD.

Affected Products

  • Rexroth IndraMotion MLC
  • Rexroth IndraMotion MLD
  • Rexroth IndraMotion MTX

Solution and Mitigations

Use ctrlX CORE

A CODESYS version with resolved security issues is integrated in ctrlX CORE.

Apply DC Security Policy

It is strongly recommended to implement the measures for network segmentation described in the DC Security Policy (see “Security Manual Electric Drives and Controls” [3]), especially if the use of ctrlX CORE is not possible.

Vulnerability Details

CVE-2019-5105

Rexroth IndraMotion MTX, MLC and MLC are affected by CVE-2019-5105.

CVE description: An exploitable memory corruption vulnerability exists in the Name Service Client functionality of 3S-Smart Software Solutions CODESYS GatewayService. A specially crafted packet can cause a large memcpy, resulting in an access violation and termination of the process. An attacker can send a packet to a device running the GatewayService.exe to trigger this vulnerability.
