CVE-2006-0021
Status: ModifiedHigh (7.8)—💥 Exploit
Microsoft Windows XP SP1 and SP2, and Server 2003 up to SP1, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (hang) via an IGMP packet with an invalid IP option, aka the "IGMP v3 DoS Vulnerability."
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C
- Base score: 7.8
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 63%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 99
- Score date: 10/7/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
💥 Public exploits
Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
