CVE-2007-6282

Publication date 8 May 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

The IPsec implementation in Linux kernel before 2.6.25 allows remote routers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a fragmented ESP packet in which the first fragment does not contain the entire ESP header and IV.

From the Ubuntu Security Team

Dirk Nehring discovered that the IPsec protocol stack did not correctly handle fragmented ESP packets. A remote attacker could exploit this to crash the system, leading to a denial of service.
