UnknownEPSS 1.61%

Last modified

CVE-2005-4440 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The 802.1q VLAN protocol allows remote attackers to bypass network segmentation and spoof VLAN traffic via a message with two 802.1q tags, which causes the second tag to be redirected from a downstream switch after the first tag has been stripped, as demonstrated by Yersinia, aka "double-tagging VLAN jumping attack.". EPSS estimates a 1.61% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
