Descriptions

The udp_queue_rcv_skb function in net/ipv4/udp.c in a certain Red Hat build of the Linux kernel 2.6.18 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (deadlock and system hang) by sending UDP traffic to a socket that has a crafted socket filter, a related issue to CVE-2010-4158.

La función udp_queue_rcv_skb en net/ipv4/udp.c en determinados Red Hat del kernel de Linux v2.6.18 en Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) v5 permite a atacantes provocar una denegación de servicio (abrazo mortal y bloqueo del sistema) mediante el envío de tráfico UDP que tiene un filtro manipulado, relacionado con CVE-2.010-4.158.

VMware ESXi and ESX updates to third party libraries and ESX Service Console address several security issues.
