Impact
Uncontrolled loading of dynamic libraries could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code.
Affected products
- Rockwell Automation ISaGRAF Runtime v5 before 5.72.00
- Devices based on ISaRAF Runtime Toolkit 5 before 5.72.00
Mitigation
Rockwell Automation mitigation
Rockwell Automation recommends upgrading to ISaGRAF Runtime 5 version 5.72.00.
Since ISaGRAF 5 Runtime is provided to a customer as a development kit, implementing least-privilege may vary from implementation to implementation based on the hardware in use.
Customers should ensure that the least-privilege user principle is followed, and user/service account access to Runtime’s folder location is granted with a minimum amount of rights as needed.
