CVSS 3.0
7.5 highCVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2017-2634
High (7.5). EPSS 5.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
It was found that the Linux kernel's Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) implementation before 2.6.22.17 used the IPv4-only inet_sk_rebuild_header() function for both IPv4 and IPv6 DCCP connections, which could result in memory corruptions. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the system.
