The DHCP client in affected devices fails to properly sanitize incoming DHCP packets. This could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to cause memory to be overwritten, potentially allowing remote code execution.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

The DHCP client in RUGGEDCOM industrial networking devices fails to properly sanitize incoming DHCP packets. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to cause memory corruption by sending specially crafted DHCP packets, potentially achieving remote code execution. The attack is network-adjacent (requiring the attacker to be on the same network segment to send DHCP responses) and does not require authentication.

MitigationApply vendor-supplied firmware updates: upgrade to V4.3.7 or later for V4.X devices, and V5.5.4 or later for V5.X devices. As a compensating control, implement network segmentation to restrict DHCP traffic to trusted sources only.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the RUGGEDCOM device model
    Access the device console or web interface and retrieve the exact model name (I800, I801, I802, I803, M969, M2100, M2200, or Rmc)
    Affected if The device model is any of these eight listed models
  2. Check the installed firmware version
    Access the device via console, CLI, or web interface and run the command to display firmware version (typically 'show version' or via the system information page)
    Affected if The firmware version is below 4.3.7 for V4.X devices (or below 5.5.4 for V5.X devices if applicable)
  3. Verify the DHCP client is enabled
    Access the device configuration and check the DHCP client settings for the affected interface (typically 'show ip interface' or check the network configuration for DHCP client status)
    Affected if The DHCP client is enabled on any network interface
  4. Assess network exposure to untrusted DHCP responses
    Examine the network topology and VLAN configuration to determine if the device is on a shared network segment where untrusted or malicious DHCP servers could respond
    Affected if The device is on a network segment where untrusted or unknown DHCP servers could inject crafted packets

A user is affected if they have one of the eight listed RUGGEDCOM models running firmware below 4.3.7 (or 5.5.4 for V5.X) with the DHCP client enabled on a network where untrusted DHCP responses can be received.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.

From vendor data
Upgrade available Upgrade to 4.3.7 or later
Fixed in 4.3.7
Interim mitigation

Apply vendor-supplied firmware updates: upgrade to V4.3.7 or later for V4.X devices, and V5.5.4 or later for V5.X devices. As a compensating control, implement network segmentation to restrict DHCP traffic to trusted sources only.
