Linux Kernel SCTP-netfilter Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability
The Linux kernel netfilter module is susceptible to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability. This issue is triggered when excessive kernel memory is consumed in an infinite loop. This problem stems from a memory leak in the kernel's 'SCTP-netfilter' code. This issue allows remote attackers to consume excessive kernel memory, eventually leading to an out-of-memory condition and ultimately to a denial of service for legitimate users. Kernel versions prior to 2.6.16.13 are vulnerable to this issue. |
