CVSS v2.0

2.1

Low

Base vector

AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel versions 2.6 up to 2.6.18-stable

Description: The issue in the seqfile handling, specifically the ip6fl get n function in ip6 flowlabel.c, allows local users to cause a denial of service, resulting in a system hang or oops, by triggering an infinite loop while searching for flowlabels through unspecified manipulations.

Recommendations: For Linux kernel versions 2.6 up to 2.6.18-stable, consider applying a patch that fixes the infinite loop issue in the ip6fl get n function to prevent denial of service attacks.
