Bug#: 85478 Product:  Gentoo Security Version: unspecified Platform: All
OS/Version: All Status: RESOLVED Severity: normal Priority: P2

Summary: Netfilter-related local DoS (CAN-2005-0210)
Keywords:  
Status Whiteboard: [linux < 2.6.11]
Opened: 2005-03-16 02:19 0000
Description:   Opened: 2005-03-16 02:19 0000 
The Netfilter code also contained a memory leak. Certain locally
generated packet fragments are reassembled twice, which caused a
double allocation of a data structure. This could be locally exploited
to crash the machine due to kernel memory exhaustion. (CAN-2005-0210)
