Affected devices improperly handle large amounts of specially crafted UDP packets. This could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to trigger a denial of service condition.

An attacker with network access to an affected product may cause a denial of service condition by breaking the real-time synchronization (IRT) of the affected installation.

Specially crafted PROFINET DCP broadcast packets could cause a denial of service condition of affected products on a local Ethernet segment (Layer 2). Human interaction is required to recover the systems. PROFIBUS interfaces are not affected.
