CVE-2020-16238

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions B. Braun Melsungen AG SpaceCom versions L81/U61 and earlier B. Braun Melsungen AG Data module compactplus versions A10 and A11

Description The issue is related to the configuration import mechanism, which allows attackers with command line access to the underlying Linux system to escalate privileges to the root user. This is due to insecure privilege management in the firmware of the affected medical devices.

Recommendations For B. Braun Melsungen AG SpaceCom versions L81/U61 and earlier, update to a version later than L81/U61 to resolve the issue. For B. Braun Melsungen AG Data module compactplus versions A10 and A11, update to a version later than A11 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting command line access to the underlying Linux system to minimize the risk of exploitation.
