Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
A vulnerability has been identified in SCALANCE S602 (All versions >= V3.0 and < V4.1), SCALANCE S612 (All versions >= V3.0 and < V4.1), SCALANCE S623 (All versions >= V3.0 and < V4.1), SCALANCE S627-2M (All versions >= V3.0 and < V4.1). Specially crafted packets sent to port 443/tcp of affected devices could cause a Denial-of-Service condition of the web server. A cold reboot is required to restore the functionality of the device.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Denial-of-service vulnerability in SCALANCE S602, S612, S623, and S627-2M web servers. Specially crafted packets sent to port 443/tcp crash the web server, requiring a cold reboot to restore functionality. Affects versions V3.0 through V4.0.x.

MitigationUpgrade firmware to V4.1 or later. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, restrict network access to port 443/tcp via firewall or network segmentation to prevent external exploitation.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify SCALANCE model
    Locate the device model label on the physical unit or check the device inventory/network management system for the model designation (S602, S612, S623, or S627-2M)
    Affected if Model is not one of the four listed (S602, S612, S623, S627-2M)
  2. Check installed firmware version
    Access the device web interface or CLI and navigate to System Information or Firmware section to retrieve the current firmware version, or query the device via SNMP or management interface
    Affected if Firmware version is >= 3.0 and < 4.1 (including any V3.x or V4.0.x release)
  3. Verify port 443/tcp exposure
    Perform a network port scan from an external host or review firewall rules to determine if TCP port 443 is accessible from untrusted networks
    Affected if Port 443/tcp is reachable from networks outside the trusted management segment

The device is affected if it is a Scalance S602, S612, S623, or S627-2M with firmware version 3.0 through 4.0.x and port 443/tcp is externally accessible.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.

From vendor data
Upgrade available Upgrade to 4.1 or later
Fixed in 4.1
Interim mitigation

Upgrade firmware to V4.1 or later. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, restrict network access to port 443/tcp via firewall or network segmentation to prevent external exploitation.
