CVE-2002-1201
IBM AIX 4.3.3 and AIX 5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption or crash) via a flood of malformed TCP packets without any flags set, which prevents AIX from releasing the associated memory buffers.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.10%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
