**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel versions 2.6.20 through 2.6.21.1 **Description** The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, potentially leading to a system panic, via a certain IPv6 packet. This might involve the Jumbo Payload hop-by-hop option, also known as a jumbogram. **Recommendations** For Linux kernel versions 2.6.20 through 2.6.21.1, consider disabling the handling of IPv6 jumbograms as a temporary workaround until a patch is available.
