CVE-2006-6333
Linux Kernel 2.6.19 - Denial of Service via Crafted Packets in IBM Token Ring Driver
Title source: llmDescription
The tr_rx function in ibmtr.c for Linux kernel 2.6.19 assigns the wrong flag to the ip_summed field, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via crafted packets that cause the kernel to interpret another field as an offset.
