CVE-2024-3661
VPN-based security solutions that rely on routes to redirect traffic can be forced to leak traffic over the physical interface.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.06%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
DHCP can add routes to a client’s routing table via the classless static route option (121). VPN-based security solutions that rely on routes to redirect traffic can be forced to leak traffic over the physical interface. An attacker on the same local network can read, disrupt, or possibly modify network traffic that was expected to be protected by the VPN.
