Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.29-5
Severity: critical
Tags: security patch
Some or all NICs supported by r8169 seem to ignore the buffer sizes in
RX descriptors, and will write up to the global maximum frame size.
This means a remote attacker can overflow RX buffers, probably
allowing for code injection. This should be fixed by the patch posted
in:
