What the CVE records say

CVE-2025-32003 — Out-of-bounds read in the firmware for some 100GbE Intel(R) Ethernet Network Adapter E810 before version cvl fw 1.7.6, cpk 1.3.7 within Ring 0: Bare Metal OS may allow a denial of service. Network adversary with an authenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via network access when attack requirements are present with special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.

CVE-2025-27243 — Out-of-bounds write in the firmware for some Intel(R) Ethernet Controller E810 before version cvl fw 1.7.8.x within Ring 0: Bare Metal OS may allow a denial of service. System software adversary with a privileged user combined with a low complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.

CVE-2025-27535 — Exposed ioctl with insufficient access control in the firmware for some Intel(R) Ethernet Connection E825-C. before version NVM ver. 3.84 within Ring 0: Bare Metal OS may allow a denial of service. System software adversary with a privileged user combined with a high complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.

CVE-2025-24851 — Uncaught exception in the firmware for some 100GbE Intel(R) Ethernet Controller E810 before version cvl fw 1.7.8.x within Ring 0: Bare Metal OS may allow a denial of service. System software adversary with a privileged user combined with a low complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.

Impact

Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could lead to Denial of Service (DoS). <br><br> ONTAP 9:<br> Affected by only CVE-2025-32003, CVE-2025-27243 and CVE-2025-24851.

What to do

  1. Check the affected products listed above against the official advisory's affected-versions table — that is where the exact ONTAP 9 release, ONTAP tool, or management product versions are named.
  2. If affected and a fixed release exists, plan the upgrade — see the ONTAP upgrade runbook.
  3. If exploitation is listed as "active", treat remediation as urgent and review exposure (management LIFs, ONTAP S3, SnapMirror endpoints).
  4. Harden in parallel: security hardening baseline and ransomware protection on ONTAP.
