CVE-2021-37740 — Mdt Scn-Ip000.03 Firmware security vulnerability

High CVSS 7.8

A denial of service vulnerability exists in MDT's firmware for the KNXnet/IP Secure router SCN-IP100.03 and KNX IP interface SCN-IP000.03 before v3.0.4, that allows a remote attacker to turn the device unresponsive to all requests on the KNXnet/IP Secure layer, until the device is rebooted, via a SESSION_REQUEST frame with a modified total length field.

Matched remediation archetype

Resource exhaustion and denial of service

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Identify attacker-influenced work factors including input size, nesting, compression, fan-out, regex cost, allocation, recursion, retries, and connection lifetime.
  • Map per-request and shared CPU, memory, disk, descriptor, thread, queue, and downstream-service limits.
  • Determine whether authentication, tenancy, quotas, and rate controls apply before expensive processing begins.

Remediate safely

  • Bound input size, nesting, expansion, work, concurrency, queue depth, retries, and execution time before resource-intensive processing.
  • Release resources on every success, error, cancellation, and timeout path and use backpressure instead of unbounded buffering.
  • Update affected components and add small deterministic tests that assert resource ceilings rather than exhausting a host.
