Descriptions

Shim allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted DHCPv6 packet.

Shim permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (lectura fuera de rango) a través de un paquete DHCPv6 manipulado.

An out-of-bounds memory read flaw was found in the way shim parsed certain IPv6 packets. A specially crafted DHCPv6 packet could possibly cause shim to crash, preventing the system from booting if IPv6 booting was enabled.
