Linux Kernel IBMTR.C Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability

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

This vulnerability resides in the 'drivers/net/tokenring/ibmtr.c' file.

Exploiting this vulnerability can allow remote attackers to crash the affected kernel, resulting in denial-of-service conditions. Attackers may also be able to execute arbitrary code, but this has not been confirmed.

Kernel versions from 2.6.0 up to and including 2.6.19 are vulnerable to this issue.
