Description

The system is missing one or more SuSE security patches. iproute2 did not validate whether messages sent via the kernel netlink interface originate from root which allowed local users to cause a Denial of Service condition. This bug has been fixed. (CAN-2003-0856)

Solution(s)

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
