Am I affected?
Debian, Ubuntu or Red Hat sometimes backport a fix without changing the upstream version number: such a version reads « to verify », never « affected ».With a domain, we read the version its public headers and pages expose. A distribution build can carry the fix under an older number.
Description
The Synergy Systems & Solutions PLC & RTU system has a vulnerability in HUSKY RTU 6049-E70 firmware versions 5.0 and prior. The affected product does not require adequate authentication, which may allow an attacker to read sensitive information or execute arbitrary code. This is a different issue than CVE-2019-16879 and CVE-2019-20045.
