** 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. Break-Fix: eb1d16414339a6e113d89e2cca2556005d7ce919 6b0d6a9b4296fa16a28d10d416db7a770fc03287
