Summary
Snap7 through 1.4.3 from davenardella contains an out-of-bounds write in its passive partner. The BSend total length is not validated, so BRecv copies past the application buffer (CWE-787). A malicious active partner connecting from the configured peer address can declare up to 65535 bytes and send a short fragment, which can crash or corrupt SCADA, HMI or gateway processes.
