Descriptions

The ipv6_hop_jumbo function in net/ipv6/exthdrs.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22 does not properly validate the hop-by-hop IPv6 extended header, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and kernel panic) via a crafted IPv6 packet.

La función ipv6_hop_jumbo en el archivo net/ipv6/exthdrs.c en el kernel de Linux versiones anteriores a 2.6.22, no comprueba apropiadamente el encabezado extendido de IPv6 salto a salto, lo que permite a los atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (desreferencia del puntero NULL y pánico del kernel) por medio de un paquete IPv6 especialmente diseñado.
