high Nessus Plugin ID 145268
New! Plugin Severity Now Using CVSS v3

Synopsis

An application running on the remote host is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

The remote host has a version of RSLinx Classic installed that is prior or equal to 2.57.00.14. It is, therefore, potentially affected by a denial of service vulnerability in the Ethernet/IP server implementation. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could cause the device to crash by sending a specially crafted sequence of packets.

Note that this plugin only runs if 'Report paranoia' is set to 'Paranoid'.

Solution

Contact the vendor.
