Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 7 vulnerabilities.

1) Resource exhaustion

EUVDB-ID: #VU77953

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1206

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a hash collision flaw in the IPv6 connection lookup table in the Linux kernel’s IPv6 functionality when an attacker makes a new kind of SYN flood attack. A remote attacker can increase the CPU usage of the server that accepts IPV6 connections up to 95%.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's repository.
