Siemens has identified the following specific workarounds and mitigations that customers can apply to reduce the risk:
  
  Product-specific remediations or mitigations can be found in the section
  Known Affected Products.
  
  
  
  Please follow the General Security Recommendations.
  
As a general security measure, Siemens strongly recommends to protect network access to devices with appropriate mechanisms. In order to operate the devices in a protected IT environment, Siemens recommends to configure the environment according to Siemens' operational guidelines for Industrial Security (Download: https://www.siemens.com/cert/operational-guidelines-industrial-security), and to follow the recommendations in the product manuals. Additional information on Industrial Security by Siemens can be found at: https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
This chapter describes all vulnerabilities (CVE-IDs) addressed in this security advisory. Wherever applicable, it also documents the product-specific impact of the individual vulnerabilities.
The OPC UA implementations (ANSI C and C++) in affected products contain an integer overflow vulnerability that could cause the application to run into an infinite loop during certificate validation.
This could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to create a denial of service condition by sending a specially crafted certificate.
