Vulnerability identifier: #VU107134

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 5.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2025-22919

CWE-ID: CWE-617

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
