July 2019: SIPROTEC 5 Security Updates
In July 2019 we released the version V7.90 for select SIPROTEC 5 device types (see table above) with the following security-relevant updates. Security-relevant Features
• Customer-authorized DIGSI 5 Instances: Customers can install their own client certificates for their DIGSI 5 installations so that only these instances (and just not any standard DIGSI 5 installation) can communicate with their SIPROTEC 5 IEDs. Customers can use SICAM GridPass or any other X.509 certificate manager to handle the client certificates and associated CA
• RADIUS-based user authentication has been enhanced on the SIPROTEC 5 HMI / front panel with support for numeric ID and passcode • Dropped support for TLS versions older than V1.2 for DIGSI 5 and web-browser communication
Security Advisory SSA-899560
- SIPROTEC 5 firmware version V7.90 and DIGSI 5 V7.90 releases also address security vulnerabilities. More information, including solutions, mitigations and workarounds can be found in: https://cert-portal.siemens.com/productcert/pdf/ssa-899560.pdf

- Support for TLS V1.1 and older versions, that were hitherto retained for backward compatibility with older DIGSI 5 versions, has been dropped in the device’s operational mode (process mode)
- Improvements related to RADIUS-protocol based user authentication on the Ethernet communication modules - Improvements in the firmware upload workflow when the RBAC function is active - Improvements related to loading of RBAC related settings to the device - Improvement related to security event logging functionality in the device
December 2018: SIPROTEC 5 Security Updates
In December 2018 we released the versions V7.82 and V7.58 for select SIPROTEC 5 device types (see table above) with the following security-relevant updates.

In July 2018 we released the version V7.80 for select SIPROTEC 5 device types (see table above) with the following security-relevant updates. Security-relevant Features
Role-based Access Control (RBAC) with central user management: o Centrally manage user accounts in RADIUS/ActiveDirectory and roles in RADIUS o Protection against unauthorized access to device over DIGSI 5, Web, and display panel thanks to the inbuilt RADIUS authentication und authorization option o Support for standard roles and rights in adherence to standards and guidelines such as IEC 62351-8, IEEE 1686 and BDEW Whitepaper o Emergency access possibility in case of interruption in RADIUS server communication
Assign write/read permissions at IP-port level:
o Assign at device port level (Mainboard Port J, Slot F/E/P/N) whether IP-based access of any nature (both engineering as well as process communication) are supported with full access, read-only access, or completely blocked
o This feature is independent of the RBAC feature for users, and can be defined individually for each device port
Enhancements to security event logging: o RBAC events are logged both inside the device and over Syslog UDP o Extended information is provided for events concerning control operations and settings changes
Security Advisory SSA-635129
- SIPROTEC 5 firmware version V7.80 release also addresses a vulnerability in the mainboard and in the Ethernet communication modules.

August 2017: Security-relevant updates in SIPROTEC 5 Firmware V7.50, covering select device types
In August 2017 we released the version V7.50 for select SIPROTEC 5 device types (see table above) with the following security-relevant updates. Security-relevant Features - New central logging functionality for security-relevant events and alarms (Syslog support): All security-relevant events and alarms that are recorded in the device-
internal security log can also be simultaneously transferred to central syslog servers, in order to facilitate substation-wide aggregation of all security-relevant events in keeping with requirements from standards and guidelines such as IEEE 1686, IEC 62443 and BDEW Whitepaper
Third-party Software Related Updates - Secure communication between DIGSI 5 and SIPROTEC 5 devices is handled on the device side with the OpenSSL component (https://www.openssl.org/).
The OpenSSL version has been updated to 1.0.2K to address multiple reported vulnerabilities: CVE-2017-3731, CVE-2017-3730, CVE-2017-3732, CVE-2016-7055 and others fixed by preceding OpenSSL versions.

In July 2016 we released the version V7.30 for select SIPROTEC 5 device types (see table above) with the following security-relevant updates. Third-party Software Related Updates - Applied security fix to Wind River VXWorks to address CVE-2015-3963. Vendor Note: The VxWorks software generates predictable TCP initial sequence numbers
that may allow an attacker to predict the TCP initial sequence numbers from previous values, which may allow an attacker to spoof or disrupt TCP connections. - Secure communication between DIGSI 5 and SIPROTEC 5 devices is handled on the device side with the OpenSSL component (https://www.openssl.org/).
The OpenSSL version has been updated to 1.0.2H to address multiple reported vulnerabilities – CVE-2016-2105, CVE-2016-2106, CVE-2016-2107, CVE-2016-2108, CVE-2016-2109, CVE-2016-2176, CVE-2016-0703, CVE-2016-0704 and others fixed by preceding OpenSSL versions.
