What is CVE-2025-20252?

A vulnerability exists in the IKEv2 module of Cisco's Secure Firewall software, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to exploit improper parsing of IKEv2 packets. By sending a continuous stream of specially crafted packets, an attacker may partially exhaust system memory, resulting in device instability and a denial of service condition. This leads to disruptions, such as the inability to establish new IKEv2 VPN sessions, requiring a manual reboot for recovery.
