Summary
SSA-535640: Vulnerability in Industrial Products

Notes

Summary
Various industrial products use the Discovery Service of the OPC UA protocol stack by the OPC foundation https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard and could therefore be affected by the remote resource consumption attacks (CVE-2017-12069).
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.
