Descriptions

Integer overflow in the ethtool_get_rxnfc function in net/core/ethtool.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.33.7 on 32-bit platforms allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via an ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL ethtool command with a large info.rule_cnt value that triggers a buffer overflow, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-3084.

Desbordamiento de enteros en la función ethtool_get_rxnfc en net/core/ethtool.c en el kernel de Linux anterior a v2.6.33.7 en plataformas de 32 bits permite a usuarios locales causar una denegación de servicio o posiblemente tener un impacto no especificado a través de un comando ethtool ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL con una valor info.rule_cnt grande lo cual provoca un desbordamiento de búfer, una vulnerabilidad diferente de CVE-2010-3084.
