- →Detect ICMP packets containing a fragmented IP packet inside another ICMP packet header — this is the specific malformed packet structure used to trigger the vulnerability ↗
- →Scope detection to hosts where an application is bound to a raw socket — this is a required precondition for the vulnerable code path to be reachable ↗
- ·Exploitation requires a local application on the target to be bound to a raw socket; hosts without such applications are not reachable via this attack path ↗
