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.
Notes: 
 dannf> Debian kernels currently only have the decnet patch - ipv4 patch
        is still needed
