CVE-2006-6333 Information

Description

The tr_rx function in ibmtr.c for Linux kernel 2.6.19 assigns the wrong flag to the ip_summed field which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via crafted packets that cause the kernel to interpret another field as an offset.
