Summary

Secure Access servers from Absolute Security before version 14.60 contain a flaw in the authentication sub-system. A malformed response sent during authentication can cause uncontrolled resource consumption (CWE-400) and a persistent denial of service. An unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger it without user interaction, and the CVSS 4.0 vector rates the impact on the vulnerable system as high availability impact.
