Summary
A vulnerability has been identified in SIMATIC CP 1242-7 V2 (incl. SIPLUS variants) (All versions < V3.5.20), SIMATIC CP 1243-1 (incl. SIPLUS variants) (All versions < V3.5.20), SIMATIC CP 1243-1 DNP3 (incl. SIPLUS variants) (All versions < V3.5.20), SIMATIC CP 1243-1 IEC (incl. SIPLUS variants) (All versions < V3.5.20), SIMATIC CP 1243-7 LTE (All versions < V3.5.20), SIMATIC CP 1243-8 IRC (6GK7243-8RX30-0XE0) (All versions < V3.5.20), SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels (incl. SIPLUS variants) (All versions), SIMATIC IPC DiagBase (All versions), SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor (All versions), SIMATIC WinCC Runtime Advanced (All versions), SIPLUS TIM 1531 IRC (6AG1543-1MX00-7XE0) (All versions < V2.4.8), TIM 1531 IRC (6GK7543-1MX00-0XE0) (All versions < V2.4.8). The web server of the affected devices do not properly handle the shutdown or reboot request, which could lead to the clean up of certain resources. This could allow a remote attacker with elevated privileges to cause a denial of service condition in the system.
