Siemens is preparing further updates and recommends the following mitigations until patches are available:

• Disable SNMP if this is supported by the product (refer to the product documentation). Disabling SNMP fully mitigates the vulnerability
• Protect network access to Port 161/UDP of affected devices
• Apply cell protection concept
• Use VPN for protecting network communication between cells
• Apply Defense-in-Depth

Siemens recommends users configure the operational environment according to Siemens’ Operational Guidelines for Industrial Security:
