Recently, two vulnerabilities have been discovered in specific Zoom Clients for Windows, which could enable attackers to launch Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.

These flaws, tracked under CVE-2025-49464 and CVE-2025-46789 , were reported by security researcher fre3dm4n and carry a Medium severity rating with a CVSS score of 6.5 each.

Both vulnerabilities stem from a classic buffer overflow issue in the affected Zoom products. This flaw could enable an authorized user with network access to exploit the system, causing a DoS condition that disrupts service availability.

The CVSS vector string for both issues, CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, indicates a high impact on availability, though confidentiality and integrity remain unaffected. While the attack requires low privileges and no user interaction, the potential for disruption is significant for organizations relying on Zoom for communication.

The vulnerabilities impact multiple Zoom products for Windows, with slight variations in affected versions between the two CVEs. Below is a breakdown of the affected software:

CVE-2025-49464 :

Both vulnerabilities stem from a classic buffer overflow issue in the affected Zoom products.

Ensuring that software is up to date is a critical step in safeguarding against potential exploits that could interrupt business operations or personal communications.

These vulnerabilities highlight the ongoing challenges in securing widely used communication tools, especially as remote work and virtual meetings remain integral to many organizations.

Buffer overflow issues, while classic, continue to pose risks when not addressed promptly. For Zoom users, particularly those managing large teams or sensitive operations, staying vigilant about software updates is essential.
