Impact
A flaw in the TLS handling of Hirschmann EagleSDV devices makes the device crash when a TLS 1.0 or TLS 1.1 session is established. The resulting crash prevents the device from responding to legitimate traffic, effectively disrupting its availability. The vulnerability is classified as a resource exhaustion weakness, identified as CWE‑400.
Affected Systems
The issue affects Belden Hirschmann EagleSDV equipment running firmware version 05.4.01 and earlier. Users should verify that their device is not running a version earlier than 05.4.02, which contains the fix.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 8.7 indicates a high severity scenario. No EPSS score is available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, implying no confirmed exploits yet. Attackers are likely to exploit the flaw by initiating TLS connections using the outdated TLS 1.0 or TLS 1.1 protocols directly over the network, causing the device to crash during the handshake. The risk is significant because a single targeted TLS connection can bring the device offline.
