Attack profile from CVSS 2.0 · NVD. Fix status from CNA and Red Hat. Impact type from CWE-476.

Summary

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.
