kernel: denial of service

Package(s):kernel CVE #(s):CVE-2007-1357
Created:April 16, 2007 Updated:November 14, 2007
Description: The atalk_sum_skb function in AppleTalk for Linux kernel 2.6.x before 2.6.21, and possibly 2.4.x, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an AppleTalk frame that is shorter than the specified length, which triggers a BUG_ON call when an attempt is made to perform a checksum.
