High · 7.5 CVE-2025-14769 EUVD-2025-208405GHSA-qx99-h65p-8xpj

ipfw denial of service

Published Mar 9, 2026 · Updated Mar 9, 2026 · Assigned by freebsd

Description

In some cases, the `tcp-setmss` handler may free the packet data and throw an error without halting the rule processing engine. A subsequent rule can then allow the traffic after the packet data is gone, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference.

Maliciously crafted packets sent from a remote host may result in a Denial of Service (DoS) if the `tcp-setmss` directive is used and a subsequent rule would allow the traffic to pass.
