Affected devices contain a vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated attacker to trigger a denial of service condition. The vulnerability can be triggered if a large amount of DCP reset packets are sent to the device.

Specially crafted PROFINET DCP broadcast packets could cause a denial of service condition of affected products on a local Ethernet segment (Layer 2). Human interaction is required to recover the systems. PROFIBUS interfaces are not affected.

Specially crafted PROFINET DCP packets sent on a local Ethernet segment (Layer 2) to an affected product could cause a denial of service condition of that product. Human interaction is required to recover the system. PROFIBUS interfaces are not affected.

Specially crafted packets sent to port 161/udp could cause a denial of service condition. The affected devices must be restarted manually.

An attacker with network access to an affected product may cause a denial of service condition by breaking the real-time synchronization (IRT) of the affected installation.

Profinet-IO (PNIO) stack versions prior V06.00 do not properly limit internal resource allocation when multiple legitimate diagnostic package requests are sent to the DCE-RPC interface. This could lead to a denial of service condition due to lack of memory for devices that include a vulnerable version of the stack. The security vulnerability could be exploited by an attacker with network access to an affected device. Successful exploitation requires no system privileges and no user interaction. An attacker could use the vulnerability to compromise the availability of the device.

Affected devices improperly handle large amounts of specially crafted UDP packets. This could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to trigger a denial of service condition.
