User InteractionNone needed
Summary

Multiple vulnerabilities in the EtherNet/IP stack (from EIPStackGroup OpENer) affect Festo SBRD-Q controllers and SBOC-Q/SBOI-Q camera families. The flaws include buffer overread (CWE-125), type confusion (CWE-681), and divide-by-zero (CWE-617) conditions that can be triggered by malformed EtherNet/IP protocol messages sent over the network without authentication. Exploitation could result in device unavailability (denial of service) or potential data corruption. Festo has not released patches and does not plan to fix these products; mitigation requires network isolation and disabling the EtherNet/IP protocol if unused.

What this means
What could happen
An attacker could cause a denial of service (stopping operations) or potentially alter data on Festo SBRD-Q controllers and SBOC/SBOI cameras by exploiting flaws in their Ethernet/IP communication stack if network access is available.
Who's at risk
Water authorities and utilities operating Festo SBRD-Q process controllers or SBOC-Q/SBOI-Q camera systems for pump monitoring, valve control, or process automation should implement immediate compensating controls. This affects any facility using Festo modular controllers or industrial cameras with Ethernet/IP network connectivity.
How it could be exploited
An attacker on the same network segment or with network access to port 44818 (EtherNet/IP) could send malformed EtherNet/IP protocol packets to the device. The Ethernet/IP stack parsing vulnerabilities (buffer overread, type confusion) could trigger a crash or allow data manipulation without requiring authentication or user interaction.
Prerequisites
  • Network access to EtherNet/IP port 44818 (UDP/TCP)
  • Device must have EtherNet/IP enabled in settings
  • No credentials or special configuration required
