CVE-2010-1187

Linux Kernel 2.6.16-2.6.33 - Denial of Service via TIPC Datagram Handling

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

The Transparent Inter-Process Communication (TIPC) functionality in Linux kernel 2.6.16-rc1 through 2.6.33, and possibly other versions, allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel OOPS) by sending datagrams through AF_TIPC before entering network mode, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference.
