Descriptions

The ULE decapsulation functionality in drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/dvb_net.c in dvb-core in Linux kernel 2.6.33 and earlier allows attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted MPEG2-TS frame, related to an invalid Payload Pointer ULE.

La funcionalidad de descapsulación ULE en drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/dvb_net.c en dvb-core en el kernel de Linux v2.6.33y anteriores permite a atacantes producir una denegación de servicio (bucle infinito) a través de un marco MPEG2-TS manipulado, relacionado con el payload de un puntero ULE no valido

It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not correctly handle memory protection of the Virtual Dynamic Shared Object page when running a 32-bit application on a 64-bit kernel. It was discovered that the r8169 network driver did not correctly check the size of Ethernet frames. Wei Yongjun discovered that SCTP did not correctly validate certain chunks. It was discovered that KVM did not correctly limit certain privileged IO accesses on x86. Evgeniy Polyakov discovered that IPv6 did not correctly handle certain TUN packets. Tons of other vulnerabilities have also been discovered and addressed.
