Descriptions

The clip_mkip function in net/atm/clip.c of the ATM subsystem in Linux kernel allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via unknown vectors that cause the ATM subsystem to access the memory of socket buffers after they are freed (freed pointer dereference).

La función clip_mkip en net/atm/clip.c del subsistema ATM en el núcleo Linux permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (panico) mediante vectores no identificados que provocan que el subsisstema ATM acceda a la memoria de búferes de sockets después de que hayan sido liberados (referencia a puntero liberado).

Several local and remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.
