CVE-2002-1046
Dynamic VPN Configuration Protocol service (DVCP) in Watchguard Firebox firmware 5.x.x allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a malformed packet containing tab characters to TCP port 4110.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.74%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
