A vulnerability has been identified in SIMATIC S7-300 CPU family (All versions), SIMATIC S7-300 CPU family (incl.
related ET200 CPUs and SIPLUS variants) (All versions), SIMATIC S7-400 PN/DP V6 and below CPU family (incl. SIPLUS variants) (All versions), SIMATIC S7-400 PN/DP V7 CPU family (incl. SIPLUS variants) (All versions), SIMATIC S7-400 V6 and earlier CPU family (All versions), SIMATIC S7-400 V7 CPU family (All versions), SIMATIC S7-410 V8 CPU family (All versions), SIMATIC S7-410 V8 CPU family (incl. SIPLUS variants) (All versions). An attacker with network access to port 102/tcp (ISO-TSAP) or via Profibus could obtain credentials from the PLC if protection-level 2 is configured on the affected devices.

"The following text was originally created by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The original
can be found at CISA.gov.
Siemens provides the following firmware versions to resolve CVE-2016-9158:
- SIMATIC S7-300 CPU family: Update to v3.X.14
- SIMATIC S7-400 PN v6: Update to v6.0.6
- SIMATIC S7-400 v7 CPU family: Update to v7.0.2
- SIMATIC S7-410 v8 CPU family: Update to v8.2
Siemens also recommends the following mitigations:
- Deactivate the web server.
- Apply Protection-Level 3 read/write protection.
- Apply cell protection concept.
- Apply defense-in-depth strategies.
- Use VPN for protecting network communication between cells.
- For SIMATIC S7-CPU 410 CPUs: Activate Field Interface Security in PCS 7 V9.0 and use a CP 443-1 Adv. to communicate
with ES/OS in order to mitigate vulnerability 2 (CVE-2016-9159).
Siemens strongly recommends users protect network access with appropriate mechanisms (e.g., firewalls, segmentation,
VPN). Siemens also advises that users configure the operational environment according to SiemensΓ’ΒΒ Operational Guidelines
for Industrial Security.
For more information on these vulnerabilities and more detailed mitigation instructions, please see Siemens Security
Advisory SSA-731239.");
