CVE-2024-33495Network attack vector

Service interruption via unbounded log growth

Published May 14, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Resource exhaustion in Siemens SIMATIC RTLS Locating Manager before 3.0.1.1 allows remote authenticated users to cause a service interrupt. The application's log handling accepts repeated entries from specific clients without enforcing a size limit, so accumulated logs consume system resources. Access to specific Locating Manager clients in the deployment is required, and the documented consequence is denial of service without reported data exposure or modification.
