Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

High

Why this priority?

Cvss 3 Severity Score

7.5 · High

Score breakdown

Linux kernel versions 4.9+ can be forced to make very expensive calls to tcp_collapse_ofo_queue() and tcp_prune_ofo_queue() for every incoming packet which can lead to a denial of service.

From the Ubuntu Security Team

Juha-Matti Tilli discovered that the TCP implementation in the Linux kernel performed algorithmically expensive operations in some situations when handling incoming packets. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.
