CVE-2018-25256
IP TOOLS 2.50 contains a local buffer overflow vulnerability in the SNMP Scanner component that allows local attackers to crash the application by supplying oversized input.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.20%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Attackers can paste malicious data into the 'From Addr' and 'To Addr' fields and trigger the crash by clicking the Start button, causing denial of service and SEH overwrite.
