CVE-2021-25224

Status: ModifiedMedium (5.5)—

A memory exhaustion vulnerability in Trend Micro ServerProtect for Linux 3.0 could allow a local attacker to craft specific files that can cause a denial-of-service on the affected product. The specific flaw exists within a manual scan component. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.

CVSS
