UnknownEPSS 6.16%

Last modified

CVE-2006-1858 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. 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 chunk length that is inconsistent with the actual length of provided parameters.. EPSS estimates a 6.16% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
