Vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The do_ipv6_setsockopt function in net/ipv6/ipv6_sockglue.c in Linux kernel before 2.6.20, and possibly other versions, allows local users to cause a denial of service (oops) by calling setsockopt with the IPV6_RTHDR option name and possibly a 0 option length or invalid option value, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's repository.
