CVE-2001-0324
Windows 98 and Windows 2000 Java clients allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a Java applet that opens a large number of UDP sockets, which prevents the host from establishing any additional UDP connections, and possibly causes a crash.
Does this matter?
EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 14.3%, higher than 96% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.
