CVE-2014-7284 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel (versions 3.13.x and 3.14.x before 3.14.5) on specific Intel processors, where a flaw in the net_get_random_once implementation leads to predictable random seeds. This predictability makes it easier for remote attackers to spoof or disrupt IP communication by exploiting guessable TCP sequence numbers, TCP/UDP port numbers, and IP ID values. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.4 (Medium), indicating it can be exploited remotely with low complexity and results in partial integrity and availability impacts. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this CVE.
