CVE Descriptions

Multiple TCP/IP and ICMP implementations allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (network throughput reduction for TCP connections) via a blind throughput-reduction attack using spoofed Source Quench packets, aka the "ICMP Source Quench attack." NOTE: CVE-2004-0790, CVE-2004-0791, and CVE-2004-1060 have been SPLIT based on different attacks; CVE-2005-0065, CVE-2005-0066, CVE-2005-0067, and CVE-2005-0068 are related identifiers that are SPLIT based on the underlying vulnerability. While CVE normally SPLITs based on vulnerability, the attack-based identifiers exist due to the variety and number of affected implementations and solutions that address the attacks instead of the underlying vulnerabilities.

EPSS

EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.

EPSS Score

The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile

The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/13124/info Multiple vendor implementations of TCP/IP Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) are reported prone to several denial-of-service attacks. ICMP is employed by network nodes to determine certain automatic actions to take based on network failures reported by an ICMP message. Reportedly, the RFC doesn't recommend security checks for ICMP error messages. As long as an ICMP message contains a valid source and destination IP address and port pair, it will be accepted for an associated connection. The following individual attacks are reported: - A blind connection-reset attack. This attack takes advantage of the specification that describes that on receiving a 'hard' ICMP error, the corresponding connection should be aborted. The Mitre ID CAN-2004-0790 is assigned to this issue. A remote attacker may exploit this issue to terminate target TCP connections and deny service for legitimate users. - An ICMP Source Quench attack. This attack takes advantage of the specification that a host must react to receive ICMP Source Quench messages by slowing transmission on the associated connection. The Mitre ID CAN-2004-0791 is assigned to this issue. A remote attacker may exploit this issue to degrade the performance of TCP connections and partially deny service for legitimate users. - An attack against ICMP PMTUD is reported to affect multiple vendors when they are configured to employ PMTUD. By sending a suitable forged ICMP message to a target host, an attacker may reduce the MTU for a given connection. The Mitre ID CAN-2004-1060 is assigned to this issue. A remote attacker may exploit this issue to degrade the performance of TCP connections and partially deny service for legitimate users. **Update: Microsoft platforms are also reported prone to these issues. https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb-bin-sploits/-/raw/main/bin-sploits/25387.tar.gz
