The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the IGB driver in drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_main.c when handling frames larger than the MTU. A remote attacker can send specially crafted traffic to the system, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
