Recommended response

  1. 1Check inventory. Check lockfiles and deployed manifests for nano, 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

A vulnerability was found in GNU Nano that allows a possible privilege escalation through an insecure temporary file. If Nano is killed while editing, a file it saves to an emergency file with the permissions of the running user provides a window of opportunity for attackers to escalate privileges through a malicious symlink.
