Cisco Talos this week released the details of several remotely exploitable denial-of-service vulnerabilities found by one of its researchers in an industrial automation product made by Rockwell Automation.
Cisco Talos and Rockwell Automation say a total of five high-severity buffer overflow vulnerabilities have been identified.
The vulnerabilities were reported to Rockwell Automation in February and the vendor requested two disclosure extensions, but when it asked for a third extension, Talos informed it that the vulnerabilities would be disclosed on October 12 regardless of whether or not a patch is available.

Rockwell Automation also published an advisory for these vulnerabilities on October 12 and while a patch does not appear to be available, the company has provided specific and general recommendations to prevent attacks.
