CVE-2009-1360: Null Pointer Dereference

Published Apr 22, 2009
·
Updated

The inet6checkestablished function in net/ipv6/inet6hashtables.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.29, when Network Namespace Support (aka NETNS) is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via vectors involving IPv6 packets.
