Critical

Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions FactoryTalk Linx versions (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue allows an unauthenticated threat actor to read data from memory via crafted malicious packets, resulting in an information disclosure. If the size of the packet is large enough, it causes communications over the common industrial protocol to become unresponsive, resulting in a denial-of-service to FactoryTalk Linx. This is due to a buffer overflow in memory, which can be exploited by sending a size larger than the buffer size.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
