Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedAn infinite loop in Ivanti Avalanche before 6.4.6 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial of service.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate Ivanti Avalanche installationIdentify where Ivanti Avalanche is installed on the system, typically in program files or the installation directory specified during setup. Check the application bin or main folder for the executable.Affected if Ivanti Avalanche software is present on the system
-
Determine installed versionLocate the version information for the Ivanti Avalanche installation. This is often available in the application itself, the about section of the admin console, or in a version file within the installation directory. Compare the installed version number against 6.4.6.Affected if The installed version is earlier than 6.4.6 (for example, 6.4.5, 6.4.0, or any version below 6.4.6)
-
Verify service statusDetermine if the Ivanti Avalanche service is currently running and accessible on the network. Check the Windows Services list or use command line tools to confirm the service state.Affected if The Ivanti Avalanche service is running and exposed to the network, making it reachable by remote attackers
The environment is affected if Ivanti Avalanche is installed with a version number lower than 6.4.6 and the service is accessible.
