An attacker can use the hping3 tool to perform an IPv4 flood attack, and the services are interrupted from attack start to end.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.23%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
