kernel: insufficient TCP source port randomness leads to client identification

Published Jun 5, 2022 CVSS 3.1 · 3.3 Low EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The Linux kernel before 5.17.9 allows TCP servers to identify clients by observing what source ports are used. This occurs because of use of Algorithm 4 ("Double-Hash Port Selection Algorithm") of RFC 6056.
