| Package(s): | kernel |
CVE #(s): | CVE-2008-4609
|
| Created: | October 2, 2009 |
Updated: | October 7, 2009 |
| Description: |
From the SUSE advisory:
Outpost24 AB researchers Robert E. Lee and Jack C. Louis have found
TCP/IP denial of service vulnerabilities which allow remote attackers
to allocate resources (memory and socket slots) on a targeted system
indefinitely and so may cause a denial of the services on the
attacked machine.
The attack requires the attacker to be able to establish TCP/IP
connections on the machine. If all incoming connections are blocked,
the system is not affected.
