Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) Use after free (CVE-ID: CVE-2006-4997)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The clip_mkip function in net/atm/clip.c of the ATM subsystem in Linux kernel allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via unknown vectors that cause the ATM subsystem to access the memory of socket buffers after they are freed (freed pointer dereference).
