Summary
Siemens APOGEE MBC (PPC) (BACnet), APOGEE MBC (PPC) (P2 Ethernet), APOGEE MEC (PPC) (BACnet), APOGEE MEC (PPC) (P2 Ethernet) and other products are affected. All versions of the APOGEE MBC and MEC products are affected, as are versions before V3.5.7 (BACnet) or V2.8.21 (P2 Ethernet) of the PXC Compact, PXC Modular and TALON TC products. The web service does not validate the length of user-controllable input, causing an integer underflow (CWE-191). An unauthenticated remote attacker can read portions of device memory or cause a denial-of-service condition.
