Two potentially serious vulnerabilities that could allow threat actors to cause significant disruption have been found in a widely used industrial connectivity device made by Moxa.
The Taiwan-based industrial networking and automation solutions provider has addressed the flaws.
The two security holes, tracked as CVE-2022-2043 and CVE-2022-2044 and rated ‘high severity’, affect Moxa’s NPort 5110 device servers, which are designed for connecting serial devices to Ethernet networks. The vulnerabilities can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause the targeted device to enter a denial of service (DoS) condition.
