CVE-2019-19300
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.

The Interniche-based TCP Stack can be forced to make very expensive calls for every incoming packet which can lead to a denial of service.
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 confidenceThe Interniche-based TCP Stack implementation used across numerous Siemens SIMATIC and PROFINET IO devices contains a vulnerability where specially crafted network packets can trigger computationally expensive operations for each incoming packet. This creates a resource exhaustion condition leading to denial of service, as the affected devices cannot process the incoming traffic load efficiently.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the exact device modelLocate the physical device or check your asset inventory for the Siemens device model number (e.g., IM155-5 PN HF, CPU 1515sp PC, ATD430W, etc.)Affected if The device model matches one of the affected products listed in the CVE
-
Determine the firmware versionAccess the device web interface, use Siemens TIA Portal or STEP 7 software, or check the device's system information page to retrieve the current firmware versionAffected if The firmware version falls within the affected range: Ktk Ate530s (all), Sidoor Atd430w (all), Ate530s Coated (all), Ate531s (all), Simatic Et 200sp Open Controller Cpu 1515sp Pc (< 2.0), Cpu 1515sp Pc2 (< 2.0), Et200mp Im155 5 Pn Hf (<= 4.2), Et200sp Im155 6 Mf Hf (all)
-
Verify network exposureConfirm the device has an active Ethernet or PROFINET network interface and is reachable on the networkAffected if The device is network-connected and processing incoming TCP/IP traffic
-
Confirm Interniche TCP stack usageCheck device documentation or system properties via the Siemens management interface to verify the Interniche TCP stack implementation is in useAffected if The device uses the Interniche-based TCP stack implementation
You are affected if your Siemens device model matches one of the listed affected products AND your firmware version is within the specified vulnerable version range, and the device is network-connected.

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 data2.0
Apply the firmware updates provided by Siemens for each affected product family. For production environments, develop a maintenance window and test update compatibility before deployment.
