CVE-2011-2699
Last modified
CVE-2011-2699 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. The IPv6 implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.1 does not generate Fragment Identification values separately for each destination, which makes it easier for remote attackers to cause a denial of service (disrupted networking) by predicting these values and sending crafted packets.. EPSS estimates a 5.57% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Description
