GCVE Workshop - 22 September 2026 (14:00-18:00), Luxembourg Before The Vulnopticon Conference - Registration

VDE-2020-050

Vulnerability from csaf_pepperlfuchsse - Published: 2021-02-15 13:33 - Updated: 2025-05-14 13:00
Summary
Pepperl+Fuchs: Multiple Products - Vulnerability may allow remote attackers to cause a Denial Of Service
Notes
Summary: Critical vulnerability has been discovered in the utilized component 499ES EtherNet/IP Stack by Real Time Automation (RTA).
Impact: Pepperl+Fuchs analyzed and identified affected devices. Remote attackers may exploit the vulnerability sending specially crafted packages that may result in a denial-of-service condition or code execution.
Mitigation: An external protective measure is required. - Minimize network exposure for affected products and ensure that they are not accessible via the Internet. - Isolate affected products from the corporate network. - If remote access is required, use secure methods such as virtual private networks (VPNs).
CVE-2020-25159

499ES EtherNet/IP (ENIP) Adaptor Source Code is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, which may allow an attacker to send a specially crafted packet that may result in a denial-of-service condition or code execution.
