Discussion

Linux Kernel ATM SkBuff Dereference Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability

The Linux kernel is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability.

This issue is triggered when the kernel processes incoming ATM data.

Exploiting this vulnerability may allow remote attackers to crash the affected kernel, resulting in denial-of-service conditions.

This issue affects only systems that have ATM hardware and are configured for ATM kernel support.

Kernel versions from 2.6.0 up to and including 2.6.17 are vulnerable to this issue.
