CVE-2000-1213
ping in iputils before 20001010, as distributed on Red Hat Linux 6.2 through 7J and other operating systems, does not drop privileges after acquiring a raw socket, which increases ping's exposure to bugs that otherwise would occur at lower privileges.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.97%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
