kernel: denial of service
| Package(s): | kernel | CVE #(s): | CVE-2009-2903 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Created: | October 5, 2009 | Updated: | February 19, 2010 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description: | From the Red Hat bugzilla entry: When the handle_ip_over_ddp() function checks for the "ipddp0" device and the device is not found, the function does not free the socket buffer structure (skb), leading to a memory leak. This only happens if you have the appletalk module loaded, but not the ipddp module, as this only happens when the "ipddp0" device does not exist. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
