It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-59497 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-59497/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-59497/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-59497","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-59497/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-59497","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rc6m-rg5w-wv73"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft Defender for Linux","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authorized local attacker can cause a denial of service in Microsoft Defender for Linux via a time-of-check time-of-use race condition.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"defender_for_endpoint","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-367","name":"Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition"}],"description":"Time-of-check time-of-use (toctou) race condition in Microsoft Defender for Linux allows an authorized attacker to deny service locally.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Microsoft Defender for Linux Denial of Service Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-59497","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"race_condition","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Microsoft SQL Server Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-59499"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Azure Monitor Agent Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-59494"},"products":["Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for Linux"],"published":"2025-10-14","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Linux Extension Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-21537","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-10"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Android Spoofing Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-49057","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-10"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-47161","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-15"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Protection Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-21315","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-13"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for Mac Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-35828","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-09-13"},{"cvss_score":7,"headline":"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for Mac Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-50658","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-14"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-02-22","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"An authorized local attacker can cause a denial of service in Microsoft Defender for Linux via a time-of-check time-of-use race condition.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-59497/"}
