Title
Hirschmann HiOS EtherNet/IP Stack Denial of Service
Summary
Hirschmann HiOS devices versions prior to 08.1.00 and 07.1.01 contain a denial of service vulnerability in the EtherNet/IP stack where improper handling of packet length fields allows remote attackers to crash or hang the device. Attackers can send specially crafted UDP EtherNet/IP packets with a length value larger than the actual packet size to render the device inoperable.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
