VAR-201705-3726
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-20 23:05A vulnerability in MikroTik Version 6.38.5 could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to exhaust all available CPU via a flood of UDP packets on port 500 (used for L2TP over IPsec), preventing the affected router from accepting new connections; all devices will be disconnected from the router and all logs removed automatically. MikroTik RouterOS Contains a resource management vulnerability.Service operation interruption (DoS) There is a possibility of being put into a state. MikroTikRouterBoard is a router management panel from MikroTik, Republic of Latvia. A remote denial of service vulnerability exists in the networkstack in MikroTikRouterBoard 6.38.5. MikroTik is a routing operating system based on Linux kernel developed by Latvian MikroTik Company. This system turns a PC computer into a professional router
