The TCP/IP stack in multiple operating systems allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a TCP packet with the correct sequence number but the wrong Acknowledgement number, which generates a large number of "keep alive"…
Does this matter?
EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 32.7%, higher than 98% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.
