Description:
 Memory leak in the ipip6_rcv function in net/ipv6/sit.c in the Linux kernel
 2.4 before 2.4.36.5 and 2.6 before 2.6.25.3 allows remote attackers to
 cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via network traffic to a
 Simple Internet Transition (SIT) tunnel interface, related to the
 pskb_may_pull and kfree_skb functions, and management of an skb reference
 count.
Ubuntu-Description:
 Paul Marks discovered that the SIT interfaces did not correctly manage
 allocated memory.  A remote attacker could exploit this to fill all
 available memory, leading to a denial of service.
