CVE-2011-1093

Función dccp_rcv_state_process en net/dccp/input.c en la implementación de Datagram Congestion Control Protocol(DCCP)en el kernel de linux antes de v2.6.38 no maneja adecuadamente paquetes para un extremo cerrado, que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio ( puntero a NULO y OOPS ) mediante el envío de un paquete DCCP-Close seguido por un paquete DCCP-Reset.

It was discovered that KVM did not correctly initialize certain CPU registers. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system, leading to a denial of service. Thomas Pollet discovered that the RDS network protocol did not check certain iovec buffers. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system or possibly execute arbitrary code as the root user. Vasiliy Kulikov discovered that the Linux kernel X.25 implementation did not correctly clear kernel memory. A local attacker could exploit this to read kernel stack memory, leading to a loss of privacy. Various other issues were also addressed.
