The socket buffer (skb) was assumed to be associated with a device before calling ip options compile, which is not always the case if the skb is re-routed by ipvs. This issue may allow a local user with CAP NET ADMIN privileges to crash the system.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
