CVE-2024-9310 (GCVE-0-2024-9310)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-01-22 18:41 – Updated: 2025-02-12 20:41
VLAI?
Title
Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) II has a Reliance on Untrusted Inputs in a Security Decision vulnerability
Summary
By utilizing software-defined radios and a custom low-latency processing pipeline, RF signals with spoofed location data can be transmitted to aircraft targets. This can lead to the appearance of fake aircraft on displays and potentially trigger undesired Resolution Advisories (RAs).
Severity ?

Title
Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) II has an External Control of System or Configuration Setting vulnerability
Summary
For TCAS II systems using transponders compliant with MOPS earlier than RTCA DO-181F, an attacker can impersonate a ground station and issue a Comm-A Identity Request. This action can set the Sensitivity Level Control (SLC) to the lowest setting and disable the Resolution Advisory (RA), leading to a denial-of-service condition.
Severity ?
7.1 (High)

Title
Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) II has a Reliance on Untrusted Inputs in a Security Decision vulnerability
Summary
By utilizing software-defined radios and a custom low-latency processing pipeline, RF signals with spoofed location data can be transmitted to aircraft targets. This can lead to the appearance of fake aircraft on displays and potentially trigger undesired Resolution Advisories (RAs).
Severity ?

Title
Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) II has an External Control of System or Configuration Setting vulnerability
Summary
For TCAS II systems using transponders compliant with MOPS earlier than RTCA DO-181F, an attacker can impersonate a ground station and issue a Comm-A Identity Request. This action can set the Sensitivity Level Control (SLC) to the lowest setting and disable the Resolution Advisory (RA), leading to a denial-of-service condition.
Severity ?
7.1 (High)
