The accept_filter mechanism in FreeBSD 4 through 4.5 does not properly remove entries from the incomplete listen queue when adding a syncache, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (network service availability) via a large number of connection attempts, which fills the queue.

Exploit prediction (EPSS)

1.63% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 76% of all scored CVEs.
