 Message-ID: <20070425183856.GA6028@ms2.inr.ac.ru>
Description: 
 The nl_fib_lookup function in net/ipv4/fib_frontend.c in Linux Kernel before
 2.6.20.8 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) via
 NETLINK_FIB_LOOKUP replies, which trigger infinite recursion and a stack
 overflow.

 A flaw was discovered in the handling of netlink messages.  Local attackers
 could cause infinite recursion leading to a denial of service.
