7.5 highEPSS 0.4%

High (7.5) in linux linux kernel. EPSS 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rxrpc: Fix use of wrong skb when comparing queued RESP challenge serial In rxrpc_post_response(), the code should be comparing the challenge serial number from the cached response before deciding to switch to a newer response, but looks at the newer packet private data instead, rendering the comparison always false. Fix this by switching to look at the older packet. Fix further[1] to substitute the new packet in place of the old one if newer and also to release whichever we don't use.
