Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Improper validation of specified quantity in input (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-57023)

CWE-ID: CWE-1284 - Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input

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 non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of specified quantity in input error in the TCP proxy plugin. A remote non-authenticated attacker can cause a complete Denial of Service (DoS).

When TCP proxy is engaged in a flow session, to support ALGs, Advanced Anti-Malware, ICAP or UTM, a TCP packet with specifically malformed TCP header will cause flow processing daemon (flowd) to crash and restart.

This causes a complete service outage until the system has automatically recovered.
