Title
PHOENIX CONTACT: ILC 1x1 ETH Denial of Service
Summary
An unauthenticated remote attacker may use an uncontrolled resource consumption in the IEC 61131 program of the affected products by creating large amounts of network traffic that needs to be handled by the ILC. This results in a Denial-of-Service of the device.
