GCVE Workshop - 22 September 2026 (14:00-18:00), Luxembourg Before The Vulnopticon Conference - Registration

VAR-201709-0842

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-20 23:27

An FBX-5312 issue was discovered in WatchGuard Fireware before 12.0. If a login attempt is made in the XML-RPC interface with an XML message containing an empty member element, the wgagent crashes, logging out any user with a session opened in the UI. By continuously executing the failed login attempts, UI management of the device becomes impossible. WatchGuard Fireware Contains a resource exhaustion vulnerability.Service operation interruption (DoS) There is a possibility of being put into a state. WatchGuardFirewareXTM is a firewall device from WatchGuard, Inc., which provides intrusion prevention, spam virus filtering, and SSLVPN through intelligent layering technology. WatchGuardFireware is the firmware in it. A security vulnerability exists in versions of WatchGuardFireware prior to 12.0. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability with a continuous invalid login request to cause a denial of service (wgagent crash)
