Summary
SSA-100232: Denial-of-Service vulnerability in SCALANCE X Switches

Notes

Summary
A vulnerability in several SCALANCE X devices could allow an unauthenticated attacker with network access to an affected device to perform a denial-of-service. Siemens has released an update for SCALANCE X-200IRT and recommends to update to the latest version. Siemens recommends specific countermeasures for products where updates are not, or not yet available.
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
