Security Bulletin
Summary
A vulnerability in the Linux Kernel affects IBM SAN Volume Controller, IBM
Storwize V7000, V5000, V3700 and V3500, IBM Spectrum Virtualize Software, IBM
Spectrum Virtualize for Public Cloud and IBM FlashSystem V9000 and 9100 family

Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2018-5391
DESCRIPTION: Linux Kernel is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the
improper handling of the reassembly of fragmented IPv4 and IPv6 packets by the
IP implementation. By sending specially crafted IP fragments with random
offsets, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to exhaust all
available CPU resources and cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 7.5
