"According to its self-reported version, Cisco IOS-XE Software is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
- A vulnerability in the IKEv2 feature of Cisco IOS Software, IOS XE Software, Secure Firewall ASA
Software, and Secure FTD Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the device to
reload, resulting in a DoS condition. This vulnerability is due to the improper processing of IKEv2
packets. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted IKEv2 packets to an affected
device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause an infinite loop that exhausts resources
and could cause the device to reload. (CVE-2025-20253)
- A vulnerability in the Internet Key Exchange Version 2 (IKEv2) feature of Cisco IOS Software, IOS XE
Software, Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software, and Secure Firewall Threat Defense
(FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to trigger a memory leak, resulting in a
denial of service (DoS) condition. This vulnerability is due to a lack of proper processing of IKEv2
packets. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted IKEv2 packets to an affected
device. In the case of Cisco IOS and IOS XE Software, a successful exploit could allow the attacker to
cause the device to reload unexpectedly. In the case of Cisco ASA and FTD Software, a successful exploit
could allow the attacker to partially exhaust system memory, causing system instability such as being
unable to establish new IKEv2 VPN sessions. A manual reboot of the device is required to recover from
this condition. (CVE-2025-20225, CVE-2025-20239)
Please see the included Cisco BIDs and Cisco Security Advisory for more information.");
