Descriptions

The socket implementation in net/core/sock.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.35 does not properly manage a backlog of received packets, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by sending a large amount of network traffic, related to the sk_add_backlog function and the sk_rmem_alloc socket field. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2010-4251.

La implementación del socket en net/core/sock.c en el kernel de Linux anteriores a v2.6.35 no maneja correctamente un retraso de los paquetes recibidos, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio mediante el envío de una gran cantidad de tráfico de la red, relacionados con la función sk_add_backlog y el campo de toma de sk_rmem_alloc. NOTA: esta vulnerabilidad existe debido a una solución incompleta para CVE-2010-4251.
