Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains one high risk vulnerability.
1) Input validation error
EUVDB-ID: #VU44030
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 7.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2011-3188
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to #BASIC_IMPACT#.
The (1) IPv4 and (2) IPv6 implementations in the Linux kernel before 3.1 use a modified MD4 algorithm to generate sequence numbers and Fragment Identification values, which makes it easier for remote attackers to cause a denial of service (disrupted networking) or hijack network sessions by predicting these values and sending crafted packets.
MitigationInstall update from vendor's website.
