Recommended response

  1. 1Check inventory. Check lockfiles and deployed manifests for n/a/n/a, Siemens/SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP, Siemens/SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518F-4 PN/DP MFP.
  2. 2Review the reported fix. Update Siemens/SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP to V3.1.5; Siemens/SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518F-4 PN/DP MFP to V3.1.5; Siemens/SIPLUS S7-1500 CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP to V3.1.5 if you use the affected versions. Test the change in a non-production environment first.

Upstream source description

The PKCS#11 feature in ssh-agent in OpenSSH before 9.3p2 has an insufficiently trustworthy search path, leading to remote code execution if an agent is forwarded to an attacker-controlled system. (Code in /usr/lib is not necessarily safe for loading into ssh-agent.) NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2016-10009.
