Description Michael Harrison 2011-10-06 20:22:25 UTC 
An error within the INET socket monitoring feature when auditing the bytecode contained in certain netlink messages can be exploited to cause the kernel to enter an infinite loop via an INET_DIAG_BC_JMP opcode with the "yes" variable set to "0".
