Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains one medium risk vulnerability.
EUVDB-ID: #VU51491
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2021-23003
CWE-ID:
CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application when processing MPTCP traffic. A remote attacker can send specially crafted data to the system and force TMM to produce a core file, resulting in denial of service.
The vulnerability can be also triggered in rare circumstances by running the tmsh show conn command.
MitigationInstall updates from vendor's website.
