Summary

The pathfinder TCP encapsulation service is vulnerable to a drain of open file descriptors.


Last Update:

Dec. 2, 2024, 11:19 a.m.

Weakness

Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling  (CWE-770) 

Summary

An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit the behavior of the pathfinder TCP encapsulation service by establishing a high number of TCP connections to the pathfinder TCP encapsulation service. The impact is limited to blocking of valid IPsec VPN peers.


Impact

Attackers can trigger a denial-of-service of the pathfinder TCP encapsulation service.

Solution

Mitigation

Access to the listen port of the pathfinder TCP encapsulation service should be limited to trustworthy networks or peers.

Remediation

Phoenix Contact strongly recommends upgrading affected mGuard devices to firmware version 8.9.3 / 10.4.1 or higher which fix this vulnerability.
