Denial of Service Vulnerability in SCALANCE Products by Siemens

CVE-2024-23814

Summary

A denial of service vulnerability exists in the SCALANCE series of network devices from Siemens. When affected devices receive specially crafted packets targeting ICMP fragment re-assembly, they can exhaust their memory resources. This condition may be exploited by an unauthenticated remote attacker, leading to a temporary denial of service of the ICMP service. However, other communication services remain unaffected. Once the attack subsides, the devices will return to normal operation.
