CVE-2016-5696 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Oracle:7 kernel-uek-devel to version 0:3.8.13-118.10.2.el7uek or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2016-3595.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-uek-devel package and not the kernel-uek-devel 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.
