Summary

A vulnerability has been identified in OpenPCS 7 V7.1 and earlier (All versions), OpenPCS 7 V8.0 (All versions), OpenPCS 7 V8.1 (All versions < V8.1 Upd5), OpenPCS 7 V8.2 (All versions), OpenPCS 7 V9.0 (All versions < V9.0 Upd1), SIMATIC BATCH V7.1 and earlier (All versions), SIMATIC BATCH V8.0 (All versions < V8.0 SP1 Upd21), SIMATIC BATCH V8.1 (All versions < V8.1 SP1 Upd16), SIMATIC BATCH V8.2 (All versions < V8.2 Upd10), SIMATIC BATCH V9.0 (All versions < V9.0 SP1), SIMATIC NET PC Software V14 (All versions < V14 SP1 Update 14), SIMATIC NET PC Software V15 (All versions < 15 SP1), SIMATIC PCS 7 V7.1 and earlier (All versions), SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.0 (All versions), SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.1 (All versions), SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.2 (All versions < V8.2 SP1), SIMATIC PCS 7 V9.0 (All versions < V9.0 SP1), SIMATIC Route Control V7.1 and earlier (All versions), SIMATIC Route Control V8.0 (All versions), SIMATIC Route Control V8.1 (All versions), SIMATIC Route Control V8.2 (All versions), SIMATIC Route Control V9.0 (All versions < V9.0 Upd1), SIMATIC WinCC Runtime Professional V13 (All versions < V13 SP2 Upd2), SIMATIC WinCC Runtime Professional V14 (All versions < V14 SP1 Upd5), SIMATIC WinCC V7.2 and earlier (All versions < WinCC 7.2 Upd 15), SIMATIC WinCC V7.3 (All versions < WinCC 7.3 Upd 16), SIMATIC WinCC V7.4 (All versions < V7.4 SP1 Upd 4), SPPA-T3000 Application Server (All versions < Service Pack R8.2 SP2). Specially crafted messages sent to the RPC service of the affected products could cause a Denial-of-Service condition on the remote and local communication functionality of the affected products. A reboot of the system is required to recover the remote and local communication functionality. Please note that an attacker needs to have network access to the Application Server in order to exploit this vulnerability. At the time of advisory publication no public exploitation of this security vulnerability was known.
