CVE-2010-3880
First published: Tue Nov 09 2010(Updated: )
Description of problem: INET-DIAG is inconsistent about how it looks up the bytecode contained in a netlink message, making it possible for a user to cause the kernel to execute unaudited INET-DIAG bytecode. This can be abused to make the kernel enter an infinite loop, and possibly other consequences. Reference: <a href="http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg145899.html">http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg145899.html</a> Acknowledgements: Red Hat would like to thank Nelson Elhage for reporting this issue.
