Discussion

Linux Kernel DCCP Proto.C Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

The Linux kernel is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to adequately bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it to an insufficiently sized buffer.

An attacker can exploit this issue to cause denial-of-service conditions. Arbitrary code execution may also be possible, but this has not been confirmed.

Versions prior to 2.6.20.5 are vulnerable.

Exploit / POC
