Vulnerability identifier: #VU18813
CSH Severity: Medium
CVSS v4: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-11477
CWE-ID: CWE-190
Exploitation vector: Remote access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

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

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow when handling TCP Selective Acknowledgments (SACKs) due to incorrect processing of TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_gso_segs value in Linux kernel. A remote non-authenticated attacker can send specially crafted network traffic to the affected system, trigger integer overflow and render the system unavailable.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform denial of service (DoS) attack.
