  "details" : [ "In the IPv6 implementation in the Linux kernel before 5.13.3, net/ipv6/output_core.c has an information leak because of certain use of a hash table which, although big, doesn't properly consider that IPv6-based attackers can typically choose among many IPv6 source addresses.", "An information leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s IPv6 implementation in the __ipv6_select_ident in net/ipv6/output_core.c function. The use of a small hash table in IP ID generation allows a remote attacker to reveal sensitive information." ],
