La función tcp_check_send_head en include/net/tcp.h en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 4.7.5 no mantiene adecuadamente cierto estado SACK tras una copia de datos fallida, lo que permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (uso después de liberación de memoria tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue y caída de sistema ) a través de una opción SACK manipulada.

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).

Exploits públicos

Hay código de explotación o plantillas de detección públicos. No es lo mismo que explotación activa confirmada (KEV), pero aumenta el riesgo: parchee con prioridad.
