**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel versions prior to 3.0 **Description** A race condition exists in the IP implementation of the Linux kernel, potentially allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service. This can be achieved by sending packets to an application that sets socket options during the handling of network traffic, resulting in slab corruption and system crash. **Recommendations** For Linux kernel versions prior to 3.0, update to version 3.0 or later to resolve the issue.
