Affected devices do not properly validate the GET parameter XNo of incoming HTTP requests. This could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to crash affected devices.

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
How this class of weakness works · CWE-120

A fixed-size buffer is filled without checking the length of the incoming data, so it overflows into neighbouring memory. This is the classic overflow attackers use to overwrite return addresses and hijack execution. The fix is strict length checks and safe, bounded string and memory functions.

General guidance for the classic buffer overflow class — the official description and references above are authoritative for this specific CVE. Want a bespoke review and a reviewed fix? Ask our team →

Upgrade available Upgrade to 4.1.4 or later
Fixed in 4.1.4
Recommended fix High confidence

Firmware version 4.1.4 or higher

  1. 1. Obtain the fixed firmware version 4.1.4 or later from the Siemens support portal or through your existing Siemens support agreement.
  2. 2. Review the Siemens security advisory (ssa-836527.pdf) for specific firmware upgrade instructions for your SCALANCE X device model.
  3. 3. Follow the standard Siemens firmware update procedure for SCALANCE X devices, typically via the device web interface or SINEC PNI (Product Information and Update Tool).
  4. 4. After upgrading, verify that the device is running firmware version 4.1.4 or higher.
  5. 5. Confirm the vulnerability is mitigated by verifying that the XNo parameter is now properly validated and does not cause a device crash.
