Security News > 2021 > August > ICS Vendors Address Vulnerabilities Affecting Widely Used Licensing Product
Industrial control systems vendors and other organizations have published advisories to address a couple of serious denial of service vulnerabilities affecting a widely used licensing and DRM solution made by Germany-based Wibu-Systems.
CodeMeter is designed to protect software against piracy and reverse engineering, it offers licensing management capabilities, and it includes security features that provide protection against tampering and other attacks.
A successor of the WibuKey DRM solution, CodeMeter can be used for a wide range of applications, but it's often used for industrial products such as PCs, IIoT devices, and controllers.
Learn more about vulnerabilities in industrial systems at SecurityWeek's ICS Cyber Security Conference and SecurityWeek's Security Summits virtual event series.
The vendors have shared information on patching, as well as mitigations that can be used to prevent potential attacks.
This is not the first time multiple industrial automation vendors publish security advisories in response to vulnerabilities found in Wibu products.
