CVE-2022-43767Network attack vector

Webserver hang via undisclosed deadlock trigger

Published Apr 11, 2023 · Updated Sep 10, 2024

Deadlock in the webserver of affected Siemens industrial communications processors allows remote attackers to hang the webserver. Siemens has not disclosed the request, handler, or synchronization operation that enters the deadlocked state. Unauthenticated network access to an enabled webserver is required, and the documented consequence is a webserver hang rather than device reboot or data compromise.
