Overview
The cybersecurity vulnerability CVE-2025-41433 is a critical flaw that affects Message Routing virtual servers when a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message routing framework (MRF) application layer gateway (ALG) profile is configured. This vulnerability matters because it can potentially cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to terminate, leading to system compromise or data leakage.

How the Exploit Works
The exploit takes advantage of a flaw in the SIP MRF ALG profile. When a malicious, undisclosed request is sent to the Message Routing virtual server, it can cause the TMM to terminate unexpectedly. This termination could lead to a potential system compromise or data leakage.
Conceptual Example Code
Here’s a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited using a SIP INVITE request:
INVITE sip:target@example.com SIP/2.0
Via: SIP/2.0/UDP attacker.com;branch=z9hG4bKnashds8
To: <sip:target@example.com>
From: "Attacker" <sip:attacker@attacker.com>;tag=1928301774
Call-ID: a84b4c76e66710
CSeq: 314159 INVITE

Mitigation Guidance
To mitigate this vulnerability, apply the vendor patch as soon as it becomes available. In the meantime, use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as temporary mitigation.
