Descriptions

The netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.9 mishandles IPv6 reassembly, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (integer overflow, out-of-bounds write, and GPF) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted application that makes socket, connect, and writev system calls, related to net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_conntrack_reasm.c and net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_defrag_ipv6_hooks.c.

El subsistema netfilter en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 4.9 no maneja adecuadamente reensamblaje IPv6, lo que permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (desbordamiento de entero, escritura fuera de límites y GPF) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de una aplicación manipulada que hace un socket, conecta y escribe llamadas al sistema, relacionado con net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_conntrack_reasm.c y net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_defrag_ipv6_hooks.c.
