Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description An issue exists in the netfilter module where the hbh mt6 check() function fails to reject optsnr values supplied from userspace that exceed the capacity of the struct ip6t opts structure. Because struct ip6t opts uses a fixed-size array opts[IP6T OPTS OPTSNR] with a limit of 16, providing a larger value can lead to an off-by-one array-index-out-of-bounds access.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
