Risk Assessment

The risk includes potential buffer overflow, which could result in system crashes or privilege escalation if exploited intentionally.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that adds overflow checks and resets `fraglen` when purging the fragment queue.
