CVE-2025-40575 (GCVE-0-2025-40575)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-05-13 09:38 – Updated: 2025-07-08 10:34
VLAI
Summary
A vulnerability has been identified in SCALANCE LPE9403 (6GK5998-3GS00-2AC2) (All versions < V4.0 HF0). Affected devices do not properly validate incoming Profinet packets. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this flaw by sending a specially crafted malicious packet, which leads to a crash of the dcpd process.

CVE-2025-32467 (GCVE-0-2025-32467)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-02-10 16:25 – Updated: 2026-02-10 17:32
VLAI
Summary
Use of uninitialized variable for some TDX Module before version tdx1.5 within Ring 0: Hypervisor may allow an information disclosure. Authorized adversary with a privileged user combined with a high complexity attack may enable data exposure. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (none) and availability (none) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.

CVE-2025-20271 (GCVE-0-2025-20271)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-06-18 16:38 – Updated: 2025-06-18 17:58

Title
Cisco Meraki MX and Z Series AnyConnect VPN with Client Certificate Authentication Denial of Service Vulnerability
Summary
A vulnerability in the Cisco AnyConnect VPN server of Cisco Meraki MX and Cisco Meraki Z Series Teleworker Gateway devices could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition in the Cisco AnyConnect service on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to variable initialization errors when an SSL VPN session is established. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a sequence of crafted HTTPS requests to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the Cisco AnyConnect VPN server to restart, resulting in the failure of all established SSL VPN sessions and forcing remote users to initiate a new VPN connection and re-authenticate. A sustained attack could prevent new SSL VPN connections from being established, effectively making the Cisco AnyConnect VPN service unavailable for all legitimate users.

CVE-2025-20212 (GCVE-0-2025-20212)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-04-02 16:15 – Updated: 2025-04-02 16:39
VLAI
Summary
A vulnerability in the Cisco AnyConnect VPN server of Cisco Meraki MX and Cisco Meraki Z Series devices could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition in the Cisco AnyConnect service on an affected device. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid VPN user credentials on the affected device. This vulnerability exists because a variable is not initialized when an SSL VPN session is established. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by supplying crafted attributes while establishing an SSL VPN session with an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the Cisco AnyConnect VPN server to restart, resulting in the failure of the established SSL VPN sessions and forcing remote users to initiate a new VPN connection and reauthenticate. A sustained attack could prevent new SSL VPN connections from being established. Note: When the attack traffic stops, the Cisco AnyConnect VPN server recovers without manual intervention.

Mitigation MIT-57
Implementation

Strategy: Attack Surface Reduction

Ensure that critical variables are initialized before first use [REF-1485].

Mitigation
Build and Compilation

Strategy: Compilation or Build Hardening

Most compilers will complain about the use of uninitialized variables if warnings are turned on.

Mitigation
Implementation Operation

When using a language that does not require explicit declaration of variables, run or compile the software in a mode that reports undeclared or unknown variables. This may indicate the presence of a typographic error in the variable's name.

Mitigation
Requirements

Strategy: Language Selection

Choose a language that is not susceptible to these issues.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Mitigating technologies such as safe string libraries and container abstractions could be introduced.

No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
