CVE-2011-1385
IBM AIX 5.3, 6.1, and 7.1, and VIOS 2.1.x and 2.2.x, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via an ICMP Echo Reply packet that contains 1 in the Identifier field, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-0194.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.41%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
