Impact
The vulnerability is a denial‑of‑service condition triggered during the TLS handshake in earlier firmware of Hirschmann EagleSDV devices. Faulty handling of protocol downgrades to TLS 1.0 or TLS 1.1 allows an unauthenticated attacker to crash the device while establishing a TLS session. The crash forces a reboot or renders the device inoperable until restored, disrupting network traffic that relies on the device. The weakness is classified as CWE‑400.
Affected Systems
Firmware prior to version 05.4.02 of Belden Hirschmann EagleSDV devices is affected. All models running this firmware version are impacted, as the advisory does not list specific device identifiers.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 8.7 indicates high severity, while the EPSS score below 1% suggests a low likelihood of exploitation in the wild at this time. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. Attackers need no authentication and can trigger the crash from any network location capable of initiating TLS connections to the device, exploiting the protocol downgrade to older TLS versions.
