AI-suggested

  1. Implement strict network segmentation to isolate Rockwell Automation controllers from general IT networks and untrusted sources, limiting exposure to potential attackers.
  2. Deploy IPv6 packet filtering at network perimeters and internal firewalls to detect and block malformed IPv6 packets that could trigger the fault condition.
  3. Monitor controller fault codes actively, especially fault code 0xFE60, to detect potential exploitation attempts early and respond promptly.
  4. Establish operational procedures for rapid fault clearing and system recovery to minimize downtime if faults occur.
  5. Coordinate closely with Rockwell Automation for updates and patches; prioritize testing and deployment of any forthcoming security updates addressing this vulnerability.
  6. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focusing on industrial control system networks to identify and remediate exposure to malformed packet attacks.
  7. Educate operational technology (OT) personnel on recognizing symptoms of exploitation and proper incident response protocols.
  8. Where possible, limit IPv6 usage or disable IPv6 on controllers if not required, reducing the attack surface.
  9. Employ intrusion detection systems (IDS) or anomaly detection tools tailored for industrial protocols to identify suspicious network activity targeting these devices.

Description

A security issue was found in the IPv6 stack in the Micro850 and Micro870 controllers when the controllers received multiple malformed packets during fuzzing. The controllers will go into recoverable fault with fault code 0xFE60. To recover the controller, clear the fault.
