CVE-2004-0370
The setsockopt call in the KAME Project IPv6 implementation, as used in FreeBSD 5.2, does not properly handle certain IPv6 socket options, which could allow attackers to read kernel memory and cause a system panic.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.40%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
