3.2 Vulnerability Overview

3.2.1 Stack-based Buffer Overflow CWE-121

If an attacker tricks a valid user into running Delta Electronics DIAScreen with a file containing malicious code, a stack-based buffer overflow in BACnetObjectInfo can be exploited, allowing the attacker to remotely execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2024-47131 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

A CVSS v4 score has also been calculated for CVE-2024-47131. A base score of 8.4 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N).

3.2.2 Stack-based Buffer Overflow CWE-121

If an attacker tricks a valid user into running Delta Electronics DIAScreen with a file containing malicious code, a stack-based buffer overflow in BACnetParameter can be exploited, allowing the attacker to remotely execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2024-39605 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

A CVSS v4 score has also been calculated for CVE-2024-39605. A base score of 8.4 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N).

3.2.3 Stack-based Buffer Overflow CWE-121

If an attacker tricks a valid user into running Delta Electronics DIAScreen with a file containing malicious code, a stack-based buffer overflow in CEtherIPTagItem can be exploited, allowing the attacker to remotely execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2024-39354 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

A CVSS v4 score has also been calculated for CVE-2024-39354. A base score of 8.4 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N).

4. MITIGATIONS

Delta Electronics has released v1.5.0 of DIAScreen (login required) and recommends users install this update on all affected systems.

For more information, please see the Delta product cybersecurity advisory for these issues.

CISA recommends users take the following measures to protect themselves from social engineering attacks:

CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.

CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov/ics. Several CISA products detailing cyber defense best practices are available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies.

CISA encourages organizations to implement recommended cybersecurity strategies for proactive defense of ICS assets.

Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available on the ICS webpage at cisa.gov/ics in the technical information paper, ICS-TIP-12-146-01B–Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation Strategies.

Organizations observing suspected malicious activity should follow established internal procedures and report findings to CISA for tracking and correlation against other incidents.

No known public exploitation specifically targeting these vulnerabilities has been reported to CISA at this time. These vulnerabilities are not exploitable remotely.
