Description Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

A typo in IPv6 flowlabel handling code in Linux kernels 2.4 up to 2.4.32 
and 2.6 before 2.6.14 could be used by a local attacker to cause the kernel 
free non-allocated memory and in turn corrupt kernel memory and/or crash the 
machine

MIPS, OpenMOSIX and rsbac -- a patch is still needed which is supplied on this bug... Let me know if there are any problems with doing so.
