CVE-2011-3347

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 kernel package versions prior to 2.6.32-218.el6

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a system crash, by sending non-member VLAN packets when promiscuous mode is enabled.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.6.32-218.el6, apply the Red Hat patch to the be2net implementation in the kernel package to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling promiscuous mode until the patch is applied.
