CVE-2014-5409: GE Hydran M2 Predictable Value Range from Previous Values

The 17046 Ethernet card before 94450214LFMT100SEM-L.R3-CL for the GE Digital Energy Hydran M2 does not properly generate random values for TCP Initial Sequence Numbers (ISNs), which makes it easier for remote attackers to spoof packets by predicting these values.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2014-5409 affects GE Hydran M2 devices with the 17046 Ethernet option. The network card generated predictable TCP sequence numbers, making it easier for a remote attacker to spoof packets. Business risk is mainly for exposed operational technology networks, not general IT systems. Exposure is likely limited to GE Hydran M2 deployments containing the 17046 Ethernet option, especially where device management or operations traffic is reachable from untrusted networks. Treat as a moderate OT exposure item. Prioritize if Hydran M2 devices are network-reachable across weakly segmented environments or support critical operations. No active exploitation is cited in the provided sources. Mitigation focus: Identify Hydran M2 assets with the 17046 Ethernet option.; Check whether the Ethernet card is before 94450214LFMT100SEM-L.R3-CL.; Apply GE or CISA-recommended updates or replacements where applicable..

Predictable Value Range from Previous Values

Predictable Value Range from Previous Values represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
