CVE-2011-3188
Last modified
CVE-2011-3188 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.1/10 on the CVSS scale. The (1) IPv4 and (2) IPv6 implementations in the Linux kernel before 3.1 use a modified MD4 algorithm to generate sequence numbers and Fragment Identification values, which makes it easier for remote attackers to cause a denial of service (disrupted networking) or hijack network sessions by predicting these values and sending crafted packets.. EPSS estimates a 5.69% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
