CVE-2017-5632
When executing an "nmap -O" command that specifies an IP address of an affected device, one can crash the device's WAN connection, causing disconnection from the Internet, a Denial of Service (DoS).
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.52%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
