Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 20/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 2.4% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 84.9% of all records.
- No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: kernel (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:3::as) 0:2.4.21-37.0.1.EL; kernel-BOOT (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:3::as) 0:2.4.21-37.0.1.EL; kernel-debuginfo (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:3::as) 0:2.4.21-37.0.1.EL.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to kernel (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:3::as) 0:2.4.21-37.0.1.EL; kernel-BOOT (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:3::as) 0:2.4.21-37.0.1.EL; kernel-debuginfo (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:3::as) 0:2.4.21-37.0.1.EL or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) allows local users to cause a denial of service via an IGMP membership report to a target's Ethernet address instead of the Multicast group address, which causes the target to stop sending reports to the router and effectively disconnect the group from the network.
