| CVE-2020-6086 +1 in the same advisory: …6087 | An exploitable denial of service vulnerability exists in the ENIP Request Path Data Segment functionality of Allen-Bradley Flex IO 1794-AENT/B. An exploitable denial of service vulnerability exists in the ENIP Request Path Data Segment functionality of Allen-Bradley Flex IO 1794-AENT/B. A specially crafted network request can cause a loss of communications with the device resulting in denial-of-service. An attacker can send a malicious packet to trigger this vulnerability.If the Simple Segment Sub-Type is supplied, the device treats the byte following as the Data Size in words. When this value represents a size greater than what remains in the packet data, the device enters a fault state where communication with the device is lost and a physical power cycle is required.

Jared Rittle of Cisco Talos discovered these vulnerabilities. Blog by Jon Munshaw.

The Allen-Bradley Flex input/output system contains multiple denial-of-service vulnerabilities in its ENIP request path data segment. These bugs exist specifically in the 1794-AENT FLEX I/O modular platform. It provides many I/O operations and servers as a smaller physical device compared to other similar hardware. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending a specially crafted, malicious packet to the target device, causing a loss of communication between the victim’s network and the device, resulting in a denial of service.
In accordance with our coordinated disclosure policy, Cisco Talos worked with Allen-Bradley to ensure that these issues are resolved and that an update is available for affected customers.
