CVE-2025-9242 (GCVE-0-2025-9242)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-09-17 07:29 – Updated: 2026-08-10 15:28

Title

WatchGuard Firebox iked Out of Bounds Write Vulnerability

Summary

An Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability in the WatchGuard Fireware OS iked process may allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects both the mobile user VPN with IKEv2 and the branch office VPN using IKEv2 when configured with a dynamic gateway peer. If the Firebox was previously configured with the mobile user VPN with IKEv2 or a branch office VPN using IKEv2 to a dynamic gateway peer, and both of those configurations have since been deleted, that Firebox may still be vulnerable if a branch office VPN to a static gateway peer is still configured.

These IoAs are only applicable on devices that lack the resolution described later in this advisory.\n\nAbnormally large IKE_AUTH request IDi payload\n\nWith iked diagnostic logging set to the Info logging level, the iked process generates a log message when the Firebox receives an IKE_AUTH request message. An IKE_AUTH request log message with an abnormally large IDi payload size (greater than 100 bytes) is a strong indicator of an attack.\nThe following example diagnostic log shows an example IDi payload size of 300 bytes.\n1970-01-01 01:00:00 iked (203.0.113.1\u003c-\u003e203.0.113.2)\"IKE_AUTH request\" message has 6 payloads [ IDi(sz=300) CERT(sz=889) SA(sz=44) TSi(sz=24) TSr(sz=24) N(sz=8)]\n\nIKE Process Hang\n\nDuring a successful exploit, the IKED process (responsible for handling IKE negotiations) will hang, interrupting VPN tunnel negotiations and re-keys. This is a strong indicator of attack. Existing tunnels may continue to pass traffic.\n\nIKED Process Crash\n\nAfter a failed or successful exploit, the IKED process will crash and generate a fault report on the Firebox. Be aware, there are other situations that could cause the IKED process to crash. This is a weak indicator of attack."
