Recommended response

  1. 1Check inventory. Check lockfiles and deployed manifests for Linux/Linux, Linux/Linux, Siemens/SIMATIC CN 4100.
  2. 2Review the reported fix. Update Linux/Linux to 5586518bec27666c747cd52aabb62d485686d0bf; Siemens/SIMATIC CN 4100 to V5.0 if you use the affected versions. Test the change in a non-production environment first.
