CVE-2021-47370

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mptcp: ensure tx skbs always have the MPTCP ext Due to signed/unsigned comparison, the expression: info-sizegoal - skb-len 0 evaluates to true when the size goal is smaller than the skb size. That results in lack of tx cache...

kernel: ICMPv6 “Packet Too Big” packets force a DoS of the Linux kernel by forcing 100% CPU

A flaw in the routing table size was found in the ICMPv6 handling of "Packet Too Big". The size of the routing table is regulated by periodic garbage collection. However, with "Packet Too Big Messages" it is possible to exceed the routing table size and garbage collector threshold. A user located...
