Linux Kernel PPPoE Socket Local Denial of Service Vulnerability

The Linux kernel is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability.

Exploiting this issue allows local attackers to exhaust memory resources and eventually cause the kernel to crash, effectively denying service to legitimate users.

This issue affects the Linux kernel 2.6 series prior to 2.6.21-git8.
