Mitsubishi Electric’s MELSEC-Q CPUs: When Lengths Don’t Measure Up!
Attention all tech wizards: there’s a vulnerability in the Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC-Q Series CPU module that could lead to denial of service. Dubbed “improper handling of length parameter inconsistency,” it’s like an overly generous buffet—inviting trouble if not managed properly. View CSAF for the full scoop and avoid a digital bellyache!
Hot Take:
Looks like Mitsubishi Electric’s CPU modules have a new talent: playing the disappearing act with your network! But don’t worry, they’ve got a sequel lined up with their iQ-R Series, promising a DoS-free future (hopefully). Until then, it’s all about firewalls, VPNs, and praying your serial numbers begin with ‘27082’ or later. Cyber hygiene, folks, it’s a thing!
Key Points:
– Vulnerability in Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC-Q series could lead to Denial of Service (DoS).
– Affected products are those with the first 5 digits of serial numbers between ‘24082’ and ‘27081’.
– Mitsubishi advises migrating to the MELSEC iQ-R Series for safety.
– Recommended mitigations include using firewalls and VPNs.
– No public exploitation reported yet, but the risk is real.
