Descriptions

Memory leak in the ipip6_rcv function in net/ipv6/sit.c in the Linux kernel 2.4 before 2.4.36.5 and 2.6 before 2.6.25.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via network traffic to a Simple Internet Transition (SIT) tunnel interface, related to the pskb_may_pull and kfree_skb functions, and management of an skb reference count.

Fugas de memoria en la función ip6_rcv de net/ipv6/sit.c en el núcleo de Linux versiones anteriores a 2.6.25.3 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (consumo excesivo de memoria) a través de tráfico de red de una interfaz de túnel Simple Internet Transition (SIT), relacionado a las funciones pskb_may_pull y kfree_skb, y la gestión de una cuenta de referencia skb.
