Description:
|
| 5 |
The Unidirectional Lightweight Encapsulation (ULE) decapsulation
|
| 6 |
component in dvb-core/dvb_net.c in the dvb driver in the Linux kernel
|
| 7 |
2.6.17.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash)
|
| 8 |
via an SNDU length of 0 in a ULE packet.

Ubuntu-Description:
|
| 10 |
A flaw was discovered in dvb ULE decapsulation. A remote attacker could
|
| 11 |
send a specially crafted message and cause a denial of service.
|
| 12 |
Notes:
|
| 13 |
mpitt> Questionable -- rather than fixing the kernel to not send out
|
| 14 |
invalid ULE packets, it should be fixed to not crash upon
|
| 15 |
receiving one.
|
| 16 |
dannf> I noticed that a different, and much larger patch went into 2.6.18
|
| 17 |
that conflicts with the one provided by the original reporter (which
|
| 18 |
went into 2.6.17.y). I asked the original reporter if that patch also
|
| 19 |
fixed the issue. Ang Way replied:
|
| 20 |
"Yes, it is fixed in 2.6.18 and later even though the patch is
|
| 21 |
different. Their fix is more elegant."
