CVE-2011-3188

kernel: net: improve sequence number generation

Published May 24, 2012 CVSS 3.1 · 9.1 Critical EPSS 5.0% KEV · Not listed
Description
The (1) IPv4 and (2) IPv6 implementations in the Linux kernel before 3.1 use a modified MD4 algorithm to generate sequence numbers and Fragment Identification values, which makes it easier for remote attackers to cause a denial of service (disrupted networking) or hijack network sessions by predicting these values and sending crafted packets.
