The connection establishment algorithm found in Rockwell Automation CompactLogix 5370 and ControlLogix 5570 versions 33 and prior does not sufficiently manage its control flow during execution, creating an infinite loop. This may allow an attacker to send specially crafted CIP packet requests to a controller, which may cause denial-of-service conditions in communications with other products.

An attacker could send a crafted HTTP/HTTPS request to render the web server unavailable and/or lead to remote code execution caused by a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability. A cold restart is required for recovering CompactLogix 5370 L1, L2, and L3 Controllers, Compact GuardLogix 5370 controllers, and Armor Compact GuardLogix 5370 Controllers Versions 20 - 30 and earlier.

An attacker could send crafted SMTP packets to cause a denial-of-service condition where the controller enters a major non-recoverable faulted state (MNRF) in CompactLogix 5370 L1, L2, and L3 Controllers, Compact GuardLogix 5370 controllers, and Armor Compact GuardLogix 5370 Controllers Versions 20 - 30 and earlier.
