CVE-2025-14769

Severity CVSS v4.0:
Pending analysis
Type:
CWE-476 NULL Pointer Dereference
Publication date:
09/03/2026
Last modified:
17/03/2026

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.<br /> <br /> 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.
