SSA-828116: Denial of Service Vulnerability in BACnet ATEC Devices
Notes
Summary
BACnet ATEC devices are affected by a denial of service vulnerability that could be triggered by an attacker residing in the same BACnet network by sending a specially crafted MSTP message. A power cycle is required to restore the device's normal operation.
Siemens recommends countermeasures for products where fixes are not, or not yet available.
General Recommendations
As a general security measure Siemens strongly recommends to protect network access to affected products with appropriate mechanisms. It is advised to follow recommended security practices in order to run the devices in a protected IT environment.
