## Summary

Snap7, an open-source library used for communication with Siemens S7 industrial controllers, is affected, and its passive communication partner can be overflowed by a malicious peer that declares an oversized message length. This could crash or corrupt SCADA, HMI, or gateway applications built on the library.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- davenardella snap7: through 1.4.3

## Description

Snap7 through 1.4.3 contains an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the passive partner that allows a malicious active partner to overflow application buffers by declaring an unvalidated BSend total length. Attackers connecting from the configured peer address can declare up to 65535 bytes and send a short fragment, causing BRecv to memcpy past the buffer and crash or corrupt SCADA, HMI or gateway processes.
