CVE-2010-1187 Information

Description

The Transparent Inter-Process Communication (TIPC) functionality in Linux kernel 2.6.16-rc1 through 2.6.33 and possibly other versions allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel OOPS) by sending datagrams through AF_TIPC before entering network mode which triggers a NULL pointer dereference.
