FKIE_CVE-2006-0454
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2006-02-07 18:06 - Updated: 2026-06-16 22:20
Severity
Summary
Linux kernel before 2.6.15.3 down to 2.6.12, while constructing an ICMP response in icmp_send, does not properly handle when the ip_options_echo function in icmp.c fails, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors such as (1) record-route and (2) timestamp IP options with the needaddr bit set and a truncated value.
