UnknownEPSS 5.36%

Last modified

CVE-2005-3848 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Memory leak in the icmp_push_reply function in Linux 2.6 before 2.6.12.6 and 2.6.13 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of crafted packets that cause the ip_append_data function to fail, aka "DST leak in icmp_push_reply.". EPSS estimates a 5.36% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
