Input validation error in Linux kernel - CVE-2011-3188

Vulnerability identifier: #VU44030

CSH Severity: High

CVSS v4: 8.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2011-3188

CWE-ID: CWE-20

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to #BASIC_IMPACT#.

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.
