A vulnerability has been identified in APOGEE MBC (PPC) (P2 Ethernet) (All versions >= V2.6.3), APOGEE MEC (PPC) (P2 Ethernet) (All versions >= V2.6.3), APOGEE PXC Compact (BACnet) (All versions < V3.5.3), APOGEE PXC Compact (P2 Ethernet) (All versions >= V2.8), APOGEE PXC Modular (BACnet) (All versions < V3.5.3), APOGEE PXC Modular (P2 Ethernet) (All versions >= V2.8), TALON TC Compact (BACnet) (All versions < V3.5.3), TALON TC Modular (BACnet) (All versions < V3.5.3). The web server of affected devices lacks proper bounds checking when parsing the Host parameter in HTTP requests, which could lead to a buffer overflow. An unauthenticated remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the device with root privileges.

- SSA-944498SSA-944498: Buffer Overflow Vulnerability in Web Server of APOGEE and TALON Automation Devices2021-09-14csaf · siemens_psirtDE
A buffer overflow vulnerability in the integrated web server of multiple APOGEE and TALON automation devices could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the devices with root privileges. Affected devices include the APOGEE MBC/MEC/PXC P2 Ethernet devices with Power Open Processors (PPC), APOGEE PXC BACnet devices, and TALON TC BACnet devices. Siemens has released updates for several affected products and recommends to update to the latest versions. Siemens recommends countermeasures for products where updates are not, or not yet available.
