CVE-2025-21087
When Client or Server SSL profiles are configured on a Virtual Server, or DNSSEC signing operations are in use, undisclosed traffic can cause an increase in memory and CPU resource utilization.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.41%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
