The fib6_add function in net/ipv6/ip6_fib.c in the Linux kernel before
3.11.5 does not properly implement error-code encoding, which allows local
users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system
crash) by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for an IPv6 SIOCADDRT
ioctl call.
