kernel is vulnerable to denial of service (DoS). The vulnerability exists as a flaw in the xfrm6_tunnel_rcv() function in the Linux kernel’s IPv6 implementation could lead to a use-after-free or double free flaw in tunnel6_rcv(). A remote attacker could use this flaw to send specially-crafted packets to a target system that is using IPv6 and also has the xfrm6_tunnel kernel module loaded, causing it to crash.
