The NCCIC/ICS-CERT has released an advisory on vulnerabilities in ATI’s Emergency Mass Notification System. The HPSS16, HPSS32, MHPSS, and ALERT 400 devices are affected. Improper authentication vulnerability caused by specially crafted malicious radio transmissions may allow an attacker to remotely trigger false alarms. ATI has created a patch which adds additional security features to the command packets sent over the radio. Additionally, ATI recommends that, where feasible, simple voice radios be replaced with digital P-25 (APCO) radios, which provide highly secure encrypted links. The NCCIC/ICS-CERT also recommends a series of defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of these vulnerabilities. NCCIC/ICS-CERT.
