Official description

Diebold Nixdorf Vynamic Security Suite through 4.3.0 SR01 does not validate file attributes or the contents of /root during integrity validation. This allows code execution, recovery of TPM Disk Encryption keys, decryption of the Windows system partition, and full control of the Windows OS, e.g., through ~/.profile changes.

The underlying weakness: Missing Support for Integrity Check

The product uses a transmission protocol that does not include a mechanism for verifying the integrity of the data during transmission, such as a checksum.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Add an appropriately sized checksum to the protocol, ensuring that data received may be simply validated before it is parsed and used.
  • Ensure that the checksums present in the protocol design are properly implemented and added to each message before it is sent.
