However, in some scenario, we expect the exp not to be removed when the created ct will not be confirmed, like in OVS and TC conntrack in the following patches. This patch allows exp not to be removed by setting IPS_CONFIRMED in the status of the tmpl.

General Recommendations As a general security measure, Siemens strongly recommends to protect network access to devices with appropriate mechanisms. In order to operate the devices in a protected IT environment, Siemens recommends to configure the environment according to Siemens' operational guidelines for Industrial Security (Download: https:\u002F\u002Fwww.siemens.com\u002Fcert\u002Foperational-guidelines-industrial-security), and to follow the recommendations in the product manuals. Additional information on Industrial Security by Siemens can be found at: https:\u002F\u002Fwww.siemens.com\u002Findustrialsecurity Additional Resources For further inquiries on security vulnerabilities in Siemens products and solutions, please contact the Siemens ProductCERT: https:\u002F\u002Fwww.siemens.com\u002Fcert\u002Fadvisories Terms of Use The use of Siemens Security Advisories is subject to the terms and conditions listed on: https:\u002F\u002Fwww.siemens.com\u002Fproductcert\u002Fterms-of-use. Recommended Practices CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of these vulnerabilities. Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and\u002For systems, ensuring they are not accessible from the internet. Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolating them from business networks. When remote access is required, use more secure methods, such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), recognizing VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most current version available. Also recognize VPN is only as secure as the connected devices. CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures. CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov\u002Fics. Several CISA products detailing cyber defense best practices are available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies. CISA encourages organizations to implement recommended cybersecurity strategies for proactive defense of ICS assets. Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available on the ICS webpage at cisa.gov\u002Fics in the technical information paper, ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation Strategies. Organizations observing suspected malicious activity should follow established internal procedures and report findings to CISA for tracking and correlation against other incidents.

GNU\u002FLinux Subsystem Flaws Put Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 PLCs at Risk","Multiple critical vulnerabilities — including buffer overflows, improper input validation, and race conditions — have been discovered in the GNU\u002FLinux subsystem embedded within Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 TM MFP industrial controllers. These flaws exist in operational technology (OT) equipment that is often deeply embedded in critical infrastructure, making exploitation potentially severe and remediation complex. Because Siemens has not yet released a full patch, operators are left relying on interim mitigations such as restricting shell access and limiting application execution. This incident highlights the danger of embedded third-party operating system components in industrial devices that may not receive timely security updates.
