CVE-2025-40833: CWE-476: NULL Pointer Dereference in Siemens IE/PB LINK HA
The affected devices contain a null pointer dereference vulnerability while processing specially crafted IPv4 requests. This could allow an attacker to cause denial of service condition. A manual restart is required to recover the system.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CWE-476) affects Siemens IE/PB LINK HA devices by causing a null pointer dereference when processing certain malformed IPv4 packets. The flaw leads to a denial of service condition, disrupting device availability until a manual reboot is performed. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.5 (high severity) with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and impact limited to availability. No vendor advisory or patch information is currently available.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation results in denial of service, causing the affected device to become unresponsive and requiring manual restart to restore functionality. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, consider limiting exposure of the affected device to untrusted networks to reduce risk.
