What is CVE-2001-0710?

An exploit in earlier versions of NetBSD and FreeBSD allows attackers to overwhelm a system by dispatching a high volume of IP fragments, leading to the exhaustion of the mbuf pool. This condition triggers a denial of service, rendering the system incapable of processing legitimate traffic effectively. The vulnerability raises significant concerns about system resilience against targeted network attacks.
