CVE-2014-0100 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Race condition in the inet_frag_intern function in net/ipv4/inet_fragment.c in the Linux kernel through 3.13.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free error) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a large series of fragmented ICMP Echo Request packets to a system with a heavy CPU load.. EPSS estimates a 2.96% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
