Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability is classified as Buffer Copy without Size Check (CWE-120), which allows attackers to overflow a buffer to corrupt adjacent memory. An exploitable denial of service vulnerability exists in the ENIP Request Path Logical Segment functionality of Allen-Bradley Flex IO 1794-AENT/B 4.003. 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 by sending an Electronic Key Segment with less than 0x18 bytes following the Key Format field. Affected products include: Rockwellautomation Flex I\/O 1794-Aent.

Priority Score
Attack Technique
A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
Denial of Service attacks render applications or systems unavailable by overwhelming resources or triggering failure conditions.
