CVE-2014-8160

Linux Kernel < 3.18 - Unauthenticated Access Restriction Bypass via Incorrect Conntrack Entry Generation

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto_generic.c in the Linux kernel before 3.18 generates incorrect conntrack entries during handling of certain iptables rule sets for the SCTP, DCCP, GRE, and UDP-Lite protocols, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via packets with disallowed port numbers.
