Mikrotik · Mikrotik Router Hap Lite · CVE-2017-6444
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
MikroTik Router hAP Lite version 6.25
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by sending many unsolicited TCP ACK packets, resulting in high CPU consumption. After the attack stops, the CPU usage remains at 100%, and the router requires a reboot to resume normal operation.
**Recommendations**
For version 6.25, consider restricting access to the network to minimize the risk of exploitation until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, monitor CPU usage and be prepared to reboot the router in case of an attack. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
