ABB, Phoenix Contact, Schneider Electric, Siemens, WAGO - Programmable Logic Controllers, multiple versions. Researchers have found some controllers are susceptible to a denial-of-service attack due to a flood of network packets.

Remedy

Fixes are available in  Schneider Electric Modicon M221 firmware v1.10.0.0 and EcoStruxure Machine Expert – Basic v1.0 software (formerly SoMachine Basic) using either of the following options: Use this link to download the Machine Expert Basic software. Or run the Schneider Electric Software Update tool in order to download and install EcoStruxure Machine Expert – Basic v1.0 software. For additional information, see the Schneider Electric security notice SEVD-2019-045-01. (https://download.schneider-electric.com/files?p_Doc_Ref=SEVD-2019-045-01) Schneider Electric strongly recommends following industry cybersecurity best practices, such as: * Physical controls should be in place so no unauthorized person would have access to the ICS and safety controllers, peripheral equipment, or the ICS and safety networks. * All controllers should reside in locked cabinets and never be left in the “Program” mode. * All programming software should be kept in locked cabinets and should never be connected to any network other than the network for the devices it is intended. * All methods of mobile data exchange with the isolated network (e.g., CDs, USB drives, etc.) should be scanned before use in terminals or any node connected to these networks. * Laptops that have connected to any other network besides the intended network should never be allowed to connect to the safety or control networks without proper sanitation.
