CVE-2013-2017
Last modified
CVE-2013-2017 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The veth (aka virtual Ethernet) driver in the Linux kernel before 2.6.34 does not properly manage skbs during congestion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) by leveraging lack of skb consumption in conjunction with a double-free error.. EPSS estimates a 4.19% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
