| Package(s): | kernel | CVE #(s): | CVE-2010-1188 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Description: | From the Red Hat advisory:
A use-after-free flaw was found in the tcp_rcv_state_process() function in the Linux kernel TCP/IP protocol suite implementation. If a system using IPv6 had the IPV6_RECVPKTINFO option set on a listening socket, a remote attacker could send an IPv6 packet to that system, causing a kernel panic (denial of service). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
