CVE-2003-1604
The redirect_target function in net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_REDIRECT.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) by sending packets to an interface that has a 0.0.0.0 IP address,…
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.75%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
