Summary: BACnet® Smart Building Controllers. ABB's BACnet portfolio features a
series of BACnet® IP and BACnet MS/TP field controllers for ASPECT® and INTEGRA™
building management solutions. ABB BACnet controllers are designed for intelligent
control of HVAC equipment such as central plant, boilers, chillers, cooling towers,
heat pump systems, air handling units (constant volume, variable air volume, and
multi-zone), rooftop units, electrical systems such as lighting control, variable
frequency drives and metering.

The FLXeon Controller Series uses BACnet/IP standards to deliver unprecedented
connectivity and open integration for your building automation systems. It's scalable,
and modular, allowing you to control a diverse range of HVAC functions.

Desc: The ABB Cylon FLXeon BACnet controller is vulnerable to an unauthenticated
WebSocket implementation that allows an attacker to execute the tcpdump command.
This command captures network traffic and filters it on serial ports 4855 and 4851,
which are relevant to the device's services. The vulnerability can be exploited in
a loop to start multiple instances of tcpdump, leading to resource exhaustion, denial
of service (DoS) conditions, and potential data exfiltration. The lack of authentication
on the WebSocket interface allows unauthorized users to continuously spawn new tcpdump
processes, amplifying the attack's impact.

Tested on: Linux Kernel 5.4.27
           Linux Kernel 4.15.13
           NodeJS/8.4.0
           Express
