It has been discovered that the code of the Networking component of the Linux kernel is vulnerable to a denial of service. This issue is triggered when handling incoming packet with certain network options. The issue occurs because the code does not restrict the values of these options. It is possible to trigger a denial of service condition. Vulnerable code is located in the function net/ipv4/ip_options.c. Linux kernel version 4.14 and above are vulnerable. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and Fedora Linux are also vulnerable. It has been reported that the issue affects the Linux version of Google’s Chromium browser. The issue is triggered in the function dev_net_connect of the function dev_net_connect of the function dev_net_connect of the function dev_net_connect of the function dev_net_connect of the function dev_net_connect of the function dev_net_connect of the function dev_net_connect of the function dev_net_connect of the function dev_net_connect of the function dev_net_connect of the function dev_net_connect of the function dev_net_connect of the function dev_net_connect of the function dev_net_connect of the function dev_net_connect of the function dev_net_connect of the function dev_net_connect of the function dev_net_connect of the function dev_net_connect of the function dev_net_connect of the
Linux Kernel Networking Stack Denial of Service
The Networking component of the Linux kernel is vulnerable to a denial of service (DoS) attack. The vulnerability has been discovered in the code that handles incoming packets with certain network options. This issue occurs because the code does not restrict the values of these options, but it's possible to trigger a denial of service condition. Vulnerable code is located in the function net/ipv4/ip_options.c and affects Linux kernel versions 4.14 and above. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and Fedora Linux are also vulnerable. It has been reported that the issue affects the Linux version of Google’s Chromium browser; however, this has yet to be confirmed by an official source from Google or Intel. The vulnerability is triggered in the function dev_net_connect of different functions in the function dev_net_connect of different functions in the function dev_net_connect of different functions in the function dev_net_connect of different functions in the function dev_net_connect of different functions in the function dev_net_connect of different functions in the function dev_net_connect of different functions in the function dev_net_connect of different functions in the function dev_net_connect
