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
Hirschmann EagleSDV firmware prior to 05.4.02 contains a denial-of-service vulnerability in TLS session establishment. Attackers can crash the device during TLS handshake by exploiting protocol downgrades to TLS 1.0 or TLS 1.1, interrupting service availability.

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

The Hirschmann EagleSDV industrial firewall contains a denial-of-service vulnerability in its TLS implementation. Attackers can trigger a device crash by forcing TLS protocol downgrade to TLS 1.0 or TLS 1.1 during the handshake process, causing the device to become unresponsive and interrupting network services.

MitigationUpgrade Hirschmann EagleSDV firmware to version 05.4.02 or later, which addresses the TLS protocol handling vulnerability. Prior to upgrade, verify in a staging environment and schedule during a planned maintenance window.

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. Confirm device model is Hirschmann EagleSDV
    Identify the specific hardware model by checking the device label, web interface, or SNMP inventory. This vulnerability only affects EagleSDV devices, not other Hirschmann products.
    Affected if The device is NOT a Hirschmann EagleSDV unit - the CVE does not apply to other models.
  2. Retrieve installed firmware version
    Access the device's web interface, CLI, or management console and locate the firmware version information. Compare against the reported affected version 05.4.02.
    Affected if The installed firmware version is any version prior to 05.4.02 (for example, 05.4.00, 05.3.x, or earlier).
  3. Verify TLS protocol configuration
    Access the device's SSL/TLS settings through the web management interface or CLI. Check which TLS protocol versions are enabled or allowed for incoming connections.
    Affected if TLS 1.0 or TLS 1.1 is enabled or permitted on the device - either as the only option or as a fallback in the protocol negotiation settings.
  4. Assess network exposure
    Determine if the device management interface is accessible from untrusted networks. Review firewall rules and access control lists protecting the device.
    Affected if The device TLS ports are exposed to untrusted or external networks where an attacker could initiate the protocol downgrade attack.

A user is affected if the device is a Hirschmann EagleSDV running firmware prior to 05.4.02 AND TLS 1.0 or TLS 1.1 is enabled, with the management interface accessible to attackers who could trigger the DoS via protocol downgrade.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Upgrade Hirschmann EagleSDV firmware to version 05.4.02 or later, which addresses the TLS protocol handling vulnerability. Prior to upgrade, verify in a staging environment and schedule during a planned maintenance window.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Hirschmann EagleSDV firmware 05.4.02

  1. Obtain the Hirschmann EagleSDV firmware version 05.4.02 from the official Belden support portal (assets.belden.com) or Hirschmann support channels
  2. Review the EagleSDV firmware upgrade documentation for specific installation instructions
  3. Upload the firmware 05.4.02 to the EagleSDV device using the device's web interface or management console
  4. Allow the device to complete the firmware upgrade process and reboot
  5. After reboot, verify the device is running firmware 05.4.02 and TLS handshake functionality is restored
  6. As an additional hardening measure, disable TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 protocol support in the device configuration to prevent future protocol downgrade attacks
