The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper resource shutdown or release in neigh_xmit in the neighbour networking subsystem when handling packet transmission with an uninitialized neighbor table. A local user can trigger packet transmission in this state to cause a denial of service.

This can occur, for example, when the IPv6 neighbor table is uninitialized because IPv6 is disabled.
