Summary
SSA-753746: Denial of Service Vulnerabilities in SIMATIC WinCC Affecting Other SIMATIC Software Products

Notes

Summary
Two null point dereference vulnerabilities affect multiple SIMATIC software products. These could allow an attacker to cause a persistent denial of service condition in the RPC Server of these products. Siemens has released new versions for the affected products and recommends to update to the latest versions.
General Recommendations
As a general security measure, Siemens strongly recommends to protect network access to devices with appropriate mechanisms. In order to operate the devices in a protected IT environment, Siemens recommends to configure the environment according to Siemens' operational guidelines for Industrial Security (Download: https://www.siemens.com/cert/operational-guidelines-industrial-security), and to follow the recommendations in the product manuals. Additional information on Industrial Security by Siemens can be found at: https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity
