CVE-2020-12819

Estado: AnalizadaAlta (7.5)—

A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the processing of Link Control Protocol messages in FortiGate versions 5.6.12, 6.0.10, 6.2.4 and 6.4.1 and earlier may allow a remote attacker with valid SSL VPN credentials to crash the SSL VPN daemon by sending a large LCP packet, when tunnel mode is enabled. Arbitrary code execution may be theoretically possible, albeit practically very difficult to achieve in this context

CVSS

Versión: 3.1
Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Puntuación base: 7.5

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.79%
Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 55
Fecha de la puntuación: 5/10/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).

AV:N, PR:L, requiere credenciales VPN válidas (T1210). Buffer overflow permite teóricamente RCE (T1059) pero es difícil en práctica; DoS es muy probable con paquete LCP grande (T1499.004).

Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
