Technical details

A memory management error exists in the server component of Absolute Security Secure Access (formerly NetMotion) prior to version 14.55. The vulnerability is triggered by an attacker with low privileges who has control over the tunnel protocol. By manipulating protocol traffic, an attacker can induce a memory-related failure that results in a persistent denial-of-service (DoS) condition on the server. The issue is addressed in version 14.55. The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.1 reflects high availability impact with low attack complexity, though it requires a basic level of authentication/access to the tunnel.
