CVE-2006-4623
The Unidirectional Lightweight Encapsulation (ULE) decapsulation component in dvb-core/dvb_net.c in the dvb driver in the Linux kernel 2.6.17.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an SNDU length of 0 in a ULE packet.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.26%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
