CVSS v3.1
Official Description
Integer overflow in FreeBSD before 8.4 p24, 9.x before 9.3 p10. 10.0 before p18, and 10.1 before p6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted IGMP packet, which triggers an incorrect size calculation and allocation of insufficient memory.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2015-1414 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
