If the net.sctp.addip_enable variable was turned on, a remote attacker could send specially crafted traffic to crash the system. Ryan Sweat discovered that the kernel incorrectly handled certain VLAN packets. On some systems, a remote attacker could send specially crafted traffic to crash the system, leading to a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.
34637add57bb1c47bb725041cb1273223d64aa46133511754d889d306943b525Red Hat Security Advisory 2011-1386-01 - The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. The maximum file offset handling for ext4 file systems could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service. IPv6 fragment identification value generation could allow a remote attacker to disrupt a target system's networking, preventing legitimate users from accessing its services. Various other issues in the kernel have also been addressed.
