Buffer overflow in LogReceiver.exe in Rockwell Automation RSLinx Enterprise CPR9, CPR9-SR1, CPR9-SR2, CPR9-SR3, CPR9-SR4, CPR9-SR5, CPR9-SR5.1, and CPR9-SR6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a UDP packet with a certain integer length value that is (1) too large or (2) too small, leading to improper handling by Logger.dll.
Source: NIST NVD / MITRE CVE Database
The vulnerability is triggered when a remote attacker sends a UDP packet with an integer length value that is either too large or too small. This causes improper handling by the Logger.dll, resulting in a buffer overflow. The attack vector is network-based, requiring no authentication, and has low complexity.

Implement network segmentation to isolate the affected systems from untrusted networks. Use deep packet inspection (DPI) to monitor and block suspicious UDP traffic directed to the affected components.
No reliable network detection signature exists for this vulnerability class — apply the compensating controls above and the vendor patch. SAGE only publishes a network rule when a concrete on-the-wire signature can be grounded in the advisory.
This CVE violates CIP-007-R2 because it involves a critical vulnerability that could allow unauthorized access to or control of electronic security perimeters, which is a requirement for protecting critical cyber assets.
This CVE maps to SR 7.6 because it involves a buffer overflow vulnerability that can lead to a denial of service or arbitrary code execution, which is a requirement for ensuring the integrity and availability of industrial control systems.
Virtual patch generated by CITED Relevance SAGE. Validate in isolated environment before production deployment. Compensating control only - does not replace vendor patch.
