Denial Of Service (DOS)

Linux kernel is vulnerable to denial of service DOS attacks. The vulnerability exists in the ipv4pktinfoprepare function in net/ipv4/ipsockglue.c in the Linux kernel. Malicious IP options present would cause the ipv4pktinfoprepare function to drop/free the dst. Attackers could cause a denial of...
