Summary
SSA-311973: Multiple Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerabilities in SINEC NMS and User Management Component (UMC)

Notes

Summary
Multiple Siemens products are affected by two local privilege escalation vulnerabilities which could allow an low privileged attacker to load malicious DLLs, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution with elevated privileges. Siemens has released new versions for the affected products and recommends to update to the latest versions.
General Recommendations
As a general security measure, Siemens strongly recommends to protect network access to devices with appropriate mechanisms. In order to operate the devices in a protected IT environment, Siemens recommends to configure the environment according to Siemens' operational guidelines for Industrial Security (Download: https://www.siemens.com/cert/operational-guidelines-industrial-security), and to follow the recommendations in the product manuals. Additional information on Industrial Security by Siemens can be found at: https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity
