A subsequent rule can then allow the traffic after the packet data is gone, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference.\n\nMaliciously crafted packets sent from a remote host may result in a Denial of Service (DoS) if the `tcp-setmss` directive is used and a subsequent rule would allow the traffic to pass.","published":"2026-03-09T12:16:11.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T08:36:32.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"secteam@freebsd.org","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":7.5,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-476"],"affected":["freebsd/freebsd"],"epss":{"score":0.01165,"percentile":0.67088,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.17%).
