CVE-2019-25590: Axessh 4.2 Denial of Service via Log File Name

Axessh 4.2 contains a denial of service vulnerability in the logging configuration that allows local attackers to crash the application by supplying an excessively long string in the log file name field. Attackers can enable session logging, paste a buffer of 500 or more characters into the log file name parameter, and trigger a crash when establishing a telnet connection.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2019-25590 affects LabF Axessh 4.2. A local attacker can crash the application through an overly long log file name in the logging configuration. This is an availability issue for the Axessh client, not evidence of system takeover. Public exploit information exists, but the provided sources do not show active exploitation. Exposure is limited to environments running LabF Axessh 4.2, especially shared workstations or systems where untrusted local users can access the client configuration. Network-only exposure is not supported by the provided sources. Treat as a moderate operational risk. Prioritize if Axessh 4.2 is used on shared systems, critical admin workstations, or support environments. This is less urgent than remotely exploitable server vulnerabilities, but public exploit availability increases the need to inventory and retire or update exposed installations. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for LabF Axessh 4.2 installations.; Check LabF or trusted vendor guidance for an updated or supported version.; Remove Axessh 4.2 where it is no longer required..
