CVE-2017-1000230
The Snap7 Server version 1.4.1 can be crashed when the ItemCount field of the ReadVar or WriteVar functions of the S7 protocol implementation in Snap7 are provided with unexpected input, thus resulting in denial of service attack.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.03%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
