Package: linux-2.6 Severity: grave Tags: security
The IPv6 protocol allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted IPv6 type 0 route headers (IPV6_RTHDR_TYPE_0) that create network amplification between two routers. There was already a patch for 2.6.20.9 (010831ab8436dfd9304b203467566fb6b135c24f). Please apply this patch to all debian kernels. See: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.20.9 http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2007-2242 for more informations.
