Summary
SSA-158827: Denial-of-Service Vulnerability in Automation License Manager

Notes

Summary
A vulnerability was identified in the Automation License Manager software that could be triggered by sending specially crafted packets to port 4410/tcp of an affected system. This could cause a denial-of-service preventing legitimate users from using the system. Siemens has released an update for the Automation License Manager 6 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
