Descriptions

The skge driver 1.5 in Linux kernel 2.6.15 on Ubuntu does not properly use the spin_lock and spin_unlock functions, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (machine crash) via a flood of network traffic.

El controlador de dispositivo skge 1.5 en el núcleo de Linux 2.6.15 en Ubuntu no utiliza apropiadamente las funciones spin_lock y spin_unlock, lo cual permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída de aplicación) mediante una inundación de tráfico de red.

A large amount of denial of service, buffer overflow, and privilege escalation vulnerabilities have been addressed in the linux-source-2.6.15 package.
