A Resource Exhaustion issue was discovered in Schneider Electric Modicon M340 PLC BMXNOC0401, BMXNOE0100, BMXNOE0110, BMXNOE0110H, BMXNOR0200H, BMXP341000, BMXP342000, BMXP3420102, BMXP3420102CL, BMXP342020, BMXP342020H, BMXP342030, BMXP3420302, BMXP3420302H, and BMXP342030H. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted set of packets to the PLC causing it to freeze, requiring the operator to physically press the reset button on the PLC in order to recover.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw can let a remote attacker freeze certain Schneider Electric Modicon M340 PLCs by sending crafted packets. Recovery may require an operator to physically press the PLC reset button, creating real outage risk in industrial environments. The provided sources do not include CVSS, confirmed exploitation, or detailed remediation text. Exposure is most likely where listed Modicon M340 PLC models are deployed and reachable by systems or networks that can send packets to the PLC. The bundle identifies models but not firmware ranges, asset-owner prevalence, or internet exposure levels. Treat this as a high-priority OT availability issue if affected PLCs support production, safety-adjacent, or remote facilities. The main business risk is operational downtime requiring on-site intervention, not data theft based on the provided evidence. Mitigation focus: Review Schneider Electric advisory SEVD-2017-048-02 for vendor-approved remediation.; Review ICSA-17-054-03 for coordinated mitigation guidance.; Inventory Modicon M340 PLCs and map them to the listed affected models..
