A vulnerability has been identified in SIMATIC CP 442-1 RNA (All versions < V1.5.18), SIMATIC CP 443-1 RNA (All versions < V1.5.18). The affected devices improperly handles excessive ARP broadcast requests. This could allow an attacker to create a denial of service condition by performing ARP storming attacks, which can cause the device to reboot.

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