## Description

Lack of administrator control over security vulnerability in MELSEC-F series FX3U-ENET Firmware version 1.14 and prior, FX3U-ENET-L Firmware version 1.14 and prior and FX3U-ENET-P502 Firmware version 1.14 and prior allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition in communication function of the product or other unspecified effects by sending specially crafted packets to an unnecessary opening of TCP port.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on n/a MELSEC-F series FX3U-ENET; MELSEC-F series FX3U-ENET-L; MELSEC-F series FX3U-ENET-P502, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
