CVSS 3.0
5.9 mediumCVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2018-14641
Medium (5.9) in linux linux kernel. EPSS 2.9% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
A security flaw was found in the ip_frag_reasm() function in net/ipv4/ip_fragment.c in the Linux kernel from 4.19-rc1 to 4.19-rc3 inclusive, which can cause a later system crash in ip_do_fragment(). With certain non-default, but non-rare, configuration of a victim host, an attacker can trigger this crash remotely, thus leading to a remote denial-of-service.
