CVE-2013-2017

Publication date 3 May 2013

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The veth (aka virtual Ethernet) driver in the Linux kernel before 2.6.34 does not properly manage skbs during congestion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) by leveraging lack of skb consumption in conjunction with a double-free error.

No maintained releases are affected by this CVE.
