Linux kernel IPv6 jumbogram denial of service
| linux-kernel-ipv6-jumbogram-dos (39643) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
The Linux kernel is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error when processing IPv6 jumbogram packets. By sending a specially-crafted IPv6 packet containing a malformed jumbo payload, a remote attacker could cause a kernel panic.
