Re: CVE-2024-36905: Linux kernel: Divide-by-zero on shutdown of TCP_SYN_RECV sockets

Posted by Solar Designer on Nov 12

specifies that it not only is network-reachable, but also that it has
High impact not only on Availability, but also on Confidentiality and

this particular GitHub project [3].

Somebody seems to already have opened a ticket for this CVE, too: [4]
