NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dtrace-modules-4.1.12-37.6.3.el7uek package and not the dtrace-modules-4.1.12-37.6.3.el7uek package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

net/ipv4/tcp_input.c in the Linux kernel before 4.7 does not properly determine the rate of challenge ACK segments, which makes it easier for remote attackers to hijack TCP sessions via a blind in-window attack.
