CVE-2010-1188 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2010-1188):
  Use-after-free vulnerability in net/ipv4/tcp_input.c in the Linux
  kernel 2.6 before 2.6.20, when IPV6_RECVPKTINFO is set on a listening
  socket, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel
  panic) via a SYN packet while the socket is in a listening
  (TCP_LISTEN) state, which is not properly handled causes the skb
  structure to be freed.
