Summary
SSA-669158: DNS Client Vulnerabilities in SIMOTICS CONNECT 400

Notes

Summary
SIMOTICS CONNECT 400 is affected by DNS Client vulnerabilities as initially reported in Siemens Security Advisory SSA-705111 (https://cert-portal.siemens.com/productcert/pdf/ssa-705111.pdf) for the DNS Module in Nucleus RTOS. Siemens has released updates for the SIMOTICS CONNECT 400 and recommends to update to the latest version.
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.
