Description

Denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability due to improper validation of specified type of input issue exists in the built-in EtherNet/IP port of the CJ Series CJ2 CPU unit and the communication function of the CS/CJ Series EtherNet/IP unit. If an affected product receives a packet which is specially crafted by a remote unauthenticated attacker, the unit of the affected product may fall into a denial-of-service (DoS) condition. Affected products/versions are as follows: CJ2M CPU Unit CJ2M-CPU3[] Unit version of the built-in EtherNet/IP section Ver. 2.18 and earlier, CJ2H CPU Unit CJ2H-CPU6[]-EIP Unit version of the built-in EtherNet/IP section Ver. 3.04 and earlier, CS/CJ Series EtherNet/IP Unit CS1W-EIP21 V3.04 and earlier, and CS/CJ Series EtherNet/IP Unit CJ1W-EIP21 V3.04 and earlier.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
