DoS via resource exhaustion/memory leak in Rockwell Automation ControlLogix Redundancy Enhanced Modules (1756-RM2/1756-RM2XT)

IdentifiersCVE-2025-14027CWE-401· Missing Release of Memory after…

CVE-2025-14027 is a set of denial-of-service conditions affecting Rockwell Automation ControlLogix Redundancy Enhanced Modules, catalog numbers 1756-RM2 and 1756-RM2XT, across all firmware versions. The issues can be triggered remotely via crafted inputs, including malformed Class 3 messages, as well as memory leak conditions and other resource-exhaustion scenarios (CWE-401). Successful exploitation can cause the module/device to become unresponsive and, in some cases, enter a major nonrecoverable fault state; recovery may require a restart.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Remote denial of service against affected ControlLogix Redundancy Enhanced Modules: the device may become unresponsive, and in some cases may experience a major nonrecoverable fault condition. Operational recovery may require restarting the affected device/module, potentially causing loss of availability for impacted control functions.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

Per CISA guidance: minimize network exposure of control system devices and ensure they are not internet-accessible; place control system networks/remote devices behind firewalls and isolate them from business networks; use secure remote access methods (e.g., VPN) and keep them updated.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Apply the vendor-provided remediation as specified in Rockwell Automation advisory SD1769 for the affected 1756-RM2 and 1756-RM2XT modules (all firmware versions are listed as affected in the provided content).
