Linux kernel built with a Gigabit Ethernet device support(CONFIG_QETH) is
vulnerable to a buffer overflow flaw. It could occur while doing an
ioctl(SIOC_QETH_ADP_SET_SNMP_CONTROL) call.
A user/program could use this flaw to crash the kernel resulting in DoS or
potentially escalate user privileges on a system.
