What to do
AI-suggested
1. Restrict physical and network access to the vehicle's diagnostic interfaces, especially the UDS protocol endpoints, by implementing strict access controls and secure storage of diagnostic tools. 2. Employ network segmentation within the vehicle's internal network (CAN bus or Ethernet) to isolate the instrument cluster ECU from external or less trusted components. 3. Monitor vehicle diagnostic communication for unusual ECUReset requests or repeated reset attempts that could indicate exploitation attempts. 4. Coordinate with KIA and authorized dealers to stay informed about any forthcoming firmware updates or patches addressing this vulnerability. 5. For fleet operators, implement policies to control and log all maintenance and diagnostic activities to detect unauthorized access. 6. Consider additional physical security measures to prevent unauthorized access to the vehicle's OBD-II port or telematics units. 7. Engage with automotive cybersecurity specialists to assess the risk in the specific operational environment and develop tailored detection and response strategies. 8. Advocate for future ECU and UDS protocol implementations to enforce authentication and authorization on critical diagnostic services such as ECUReset to prevent unauthenticated resets.
Description
An issue in KIA Seltos vehicle instrument cluster with software and hardware v1.0 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via ECU reset UDS service. NOTE: this is disputed by the Supplier because the findings came from a potentially unrealistic test environment (an isolated ECU part that was not in a vehicle), and because the ECUReset specification does not allow a manufacturer to require SecurityAccess and Authentication.
