A typo in IPv6 flowlabel handling code in Linux kernels 2.4 up to 2.4.32 and 2.6 before 2.6.14 could be used by a local attacker to cause the kernel free non-allocated memory and in turn corrupt kernel memory and/or crash the machine. Fixed upstream by: http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/cset@435ebd2095VXAPIHGRQXkibspCvlPw This issue affects kernels 2.4 as well as 2.6 up to 2.6.14
