CVE-2017-11401
Improper handling of the mbap.length field of ModBus packets in the ModBus DPI filter allows an attacker to send malformed/crafted packets to a protected asset, bypassing function code filtering.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.40%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
