UnknownEPSS 5.23%

Last modified

CVE-2014-7841 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The sctp_process_param function in net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c in the SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.17.4, when ASCONF is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a malformed INIT chunk.. EPSS estimates a 5.23% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
