Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) may produce a core file or stop processing new traffic with the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK)/Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) driver on Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems. A remote attacker can cause a denial of service condition on the target system.

Mitigation
