Amnesia:33 vulnerabilities for JGS516PE

Hello all,

 

I am not having much luck in finding any information regarding the Amnesia:33 vulnerabilities showing up on our Qualys scan for the JGS516PE  switch.

 

I understand that the switch is EOL and no longer supported but is there any information about the latest patch from them addresses the vulnerability mentioned?


Model: JGS516PE|ProSafe Plus 16 ports switch with PoE

That link doesn't address my question.

 

If I were to report this, which is an old CVE by the way, will there be fixes for it if the product is EOL?


It is a well known issue with opensource TCP/IP stack.

Not sure there are similar alternate robust and light TCP stacks available to replace these embedded microcontrollers TCP stacks not vulnerable to the Amnesia:33 set.

 

Even if available, unclear if the industry will update these tiny devices ever.

 

@YeZ please.

Re: Amnesia:33 vulnerabilities for JGS516PE

Thank you for the link. however, I am already on that version of Firmware on the switch already and the Qualys scan is still picking it up.

 

I know it says it fixed various vulnerabilities but doesn't really say what was fixed. This is a PCI vulnerability that we will get dinged on, in an audit, so I need something more than this.

Strange at least if true .48 is dated 01-dec-2020 while the https://kb.cert.org/vuls/id/815128 release date was 08-dec-2020

 

And for the records again: "Various security vulnerability fixes and enhancements" is useless information. At lest one reference to each vulnerability/threat fixed - being a Netgear or CERT reference - is expected in business class products.

 

@Chipperchoi the way vulnerability assessment software works can vary widely ...
