An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-61974 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: F5 BIG-IP. 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-2025-61974/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-61974/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-61974","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-61974/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-61974","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j8fr-j6mp-3j67"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"BIG-IP load balancer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause memory exhaustion and denial of service on F5 BIG-IP devices when a client SSL profile is configured on a virtual server.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"f5","cpe":[{"product":"big-ip_next_cloud-native_network_functions","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_next_for_kubernetes","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_next_service_proxy_for_kubernetes","vendor":"f5"}],"cvss":{"score":8.7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-401","name":"Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime"}],"description":"When a client SSL profile is configured on a virtual server, undisclosed requests can cause an increase in memory resource utilization.  Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.","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":"BIG-IP SSL/TLS vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-61974","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in CHOCO TEI WATCHER mini (IB-MCT001)","id":"CVE-2025-61976"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Epic Games Store","id":"CVE-2025-61973"},"products":["BIG-IP","BIG-IP Next CNF","BIG-IP Next SPK","BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes"],"published":"2025-10-15","related":[{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"BIG-IP HTTP/2 vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-59762","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-15"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"BIG-IP PEM vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-54479","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-15"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"BIG-IP Next (CNF, SPK, and Kubernetes) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-58120","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-15"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"BIG-IP SSL/TLS vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-60016","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-15"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"BIG-IP Next (CNF, SPK, and Kubernetes) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-55670","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-15"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"BIG-IP Next CNF \u0026 SPK vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-23306","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-14"}],"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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-02-26","vendors":["F5"]},"summary":"Attackers can cause memory exhaustion and denial of service on F5 BIG-IP devices when a client SSL profile is configured on a virtual server.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-61974/"}
