CVE-2006-6333: Linux Kernel

High severity, CVSS 7.8. EPSS: 3.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The tr_rx function in ibmtr.c for Linux kernel 2.6.19 assigns the wrong flag to the ip_summed field, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via crafted packets that cause the kernel to interpret another field as an offset.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: version 2.6.19 only
