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.
