DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2016-10-16 CVE-2016-8666 Resource Exhaustion vulnerability in Linux Kernel
The IP stack in the Linux kernel before 4.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and panic) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering use of the GRO path for packets with tunnel stacking, as demonstrated by interleaved IPv4 headers and GRE headers, a related issue to CVE-2016-7039.
