Last modified
CVE-2006-1857 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Buffer overflow in SCTP in Linux kernel before 2.6.16.17 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a malformed HB-ACK chunk.. EPSS estimates a 6.80% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
