Description: 
 The IPv6 protocol allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via
 crafted IPv6 type 0 route headers (IPV6_RTHDR_TYPE_0) that create network
 amplification between two routers.
Ubuntu-Description: 
 A flaw was discovered in the IPv6 stack's handling of type 0 route headers.
 By sending a specially crafted IPv6 packet, a remote attacker could cause
 a denial of service between two IPv6 hosts.
Notes: 
 dannf> Some info from Vlad Yasevich:
  <vlad> dannf: is someone including commits 010831ab8436dfd9304b203467566fb6b135c24f and 9d08f139275450f9366d85ba09b9a2e09bb33766 (IPv6 routing header changes) in the debian kernel?
 ...
 <dannf> vlad: right, but (010831ab8436dfd9304b203467566fb6b135c24f) is security, so it'll be included in etch if necessary
 <dannf> s/necessary/affected/
 <vlad> dannf: you need the second one I listed as well, since the first one has a bug in it.
 <dannf> vlad: oh, ok - thx
 <vlad> dannf: although for the purposes of 2.6.18, the second one might be a no-op and the first one might need to be modified a bit.
