Candidate: CVE-2007-2172 References: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=a979101106f549f4ed80d6dcbc35077be34d4346 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=a0ee18b9b7d3847976c6fb315c06a34fb296de0e Description: A typo in Linux kernel 2.6 before 2.6.21-rc6 causes RTA_MAX to be used as an array size instead of RTN_MAX, which leads to an "out of bound access" by the (1) dn_fib_props (dn_fib.c, DECNet) and (2) fib_props (fib_semantics.c, IPv4) functions. Ubuntu-Description: The IPv4 and DECnet network protocol handlers misdeclared an array variable so that it became smaller than intended. By sending crafted packets over a netlink socket, a local attacker could exploit this to crash the kernel.
