Remediations

• Alternatively, restrict port 1522/tcp access to localhost or specific ip<br/> addresses only, as documented in the updated security manual (chapter 3.6.7) [1], which is also included in the SICAM TOOLBOX II, V07.01 package [2] [1] https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109757707 [2] https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109805672
• Install hotfix V7.01 HF01 [3]. Among other things, this update will disable the port 1522 in the ORACLE configuration file LISTENER.ORA by default. The currently installed and/or from customer modified configuration file LISTENER.ORA is backed up. See the release notes for more information.

• Currently no fix is planned
• Operators of critical power systems (e.g. TSOs or DSOs) worldwide are usually required by regulations to build resilience into the power grids by applying multi-level redundant secondary protection schemes. It is therefore recommended that the operators check whether appropriate resilient protection measures are in place. The risk of cyber incidents impacting the grid's reliability can thus be minimized by virtue of the grid design. Siemens strongly recommends applying the provided security updates using the corresponding tooling and documented procedures made available with the product. If supported by the product, an automated means to apply the security updates across multiple product instances may be used. Siemens strongly recommends prior validation of any security update before being applied, and supervision by trained staff of the update process in the target environment. As a general security measure Siemens strongly recommends to protect network access with appropriate mechanisms (e.g. firewalls, segmentation, VPN). It is advised to configure the environment according to our operational guidelines in order to run the devices in a protected IT environment.
