There is a memory management vulnerability in Absolute Secure Access server versions 9.0 to 13.54. Attackers with network access to the server can cause a Denial of Service by sending a specially crafted sequence of packets to the server. The attack complexity is low, there are no attack requirements, privileges, or user interaction required. Loss of availability is high; there is no impact on confidentiality or integrity.

Mitigation
Implementation
Only call matching memory management functions. Do not mix and match routines. For example, when you allocate a buffer with malloc(), dispose of the original pointer with free().
Mitigation MIT-41
Implementation
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Choose a language or tool that provides automatic memory management, or makes manual memory management less error-prone.
- For example, glibc in Linux provides protection against free of invalid pointers.
- When using Xcode to target OS X or iOS, enable automatic reference counting (ARC) [REF-391].
- To help correctly and consistently manage memory when programming in C++, consider using a smart pointer class such as std::auto_ptr (defined by ISO/IEC ISO/IEC 14882:2003), std::shared_ptr and std::unique_ptr (specified by an upcoming revision of the C++ standard, informally referred to as C++ 1x), or equivalent solutions such as Boost.
Mitigation MIT-4.6
Architecture and Design
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- For example, glibc in Linux provides protection against free of invalid pointers.
Mitigation
Architecture and Design
Use a language that provides abstractions for memory allocation and deallocation.
