A memory leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s ICMPv6 networking protocol, in the way a user generated malicious ICMPv6 packets. This flaw allows a remote user to crash the system.
A memory leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s ICMPv6 networking protocol, in the way a user generated malicious ICMPv6 packets. This flaw allows a remote user to crash the system.
The impact is limited, due to ICMPv6 only possible by a remote system crash (without the possibility of exploiting a remote system).
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options don't meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
