CVE-2008-2136
Memory leak in the ipip6_rcv function in net/ipv6/sit.c in the Linux kernel 2.4 before 2.4.36.5 and 2.6 before 2.6.25.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via network traffic to a Simple Internet Transition (SIT)…
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.93%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
