CVE-2006-4997

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via unknown vectors that cause the ATM subsystem to access the memory of socket buffers after they are freed, resulting in a freed pointer dereference. This occurs in the clip mkip function in net/atm/clip.c of the ATM subsystem.
