** Description changed:

- A flaw was found in the way the Linux Ethernet bridge implementation
- handled certain IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) packets. A
- local, unprivileged user on a system that has a network interface in an
- Ethernet bridge could use this flaw to crash that system.
+ The br_multicast_add_group function in net/bridge/br_multicast.c in the
+ Linux kernel before 2.6.38, when a certain Ethernet bridge configuration
+ is used, allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory
+ corruption and system crash) by sending IGMP packets to a local
+ interface.
