Am I affected?
Debian, Ubuntu or Red Hat sometimes backport a fix without changing the upstream version number: such a version reads « to verify », never « affected ».With a domain, we read the version its public headers and pages expose. A distribution build can carry the fix under an older number.
Description
A vulnerability has been identified in SIPROTEC 5 relays with CPU variants CP050 (All versions < V8.80), SIPROTEC 5 relays with CPU variants CP100 (All versions < V8.80), SIPROTEC 5 relays with CPU variants CP300 (All versions < V8.80). Received webpackets are not properly processed. An unauthenticated remote attacker with access to any of the Ethernet interfaces could send specially crafted packets to force a restart of the target device.
