Description
This security bulletin contains information about 7 vulnerabilities.
1) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-21285)
CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ). A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-21251)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources in Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ). A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-21270)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources in Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ). A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-21277)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ). A remote attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds read error and cause a denial of service condition on the system.
5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-21289)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources in Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ). A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-21230)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ). A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-21290)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources in Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ). A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
