What is CVE-2019-18282?

CVE-2019-18282 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Debian Debian Linux, published on 16 Jan 2020. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

Official description

The flow_dissector feature in the Linux kernel 4.3 through 5.x before 5.3.10 has a device tracking vulnerability, aka CID-55667441c84f. This occurs because the auto flowlabel of a UDP IPv6 packet relies on a 32-bit hashrnd value as a secret, and because jhash (instead of siphash) is used. The hashrnd value remains the same starting from boot time, and can be inferred by an attacker. This affects net/core/flow_dissector.c and related code.

Weakness: CWE-330
