CVE-2025-25566 (GCVE-0-2025-25566)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-03-12 00:00 – Updated: 2025-07-19 01:35 Disputed
VLAI
Summary
Memory Leak vulnerability in SoftEtherVPN 5.02.5187 allows an attacker to cause a denial of service via the UnixMemoryAlloc function. NOTE: the Supplier disputes this because the behavior is limited to a single allocation of a few hundred bytes with a command-line tool.
