Description Petr Matousek 2012-06-19 12:29:52 UTC 
A flaw was found in the way ipv6 netfilter's connection tracking module handled packets fragmented into a single fragment. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the system.

Upstream fix:

Comment 4 Petr Matousek 2012-07-04 05:51:53 UTC 
Statement:

This issue did not affect the versions of the Linux kernel as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 as they did not include support for netfilter's ipv6 connection tracking module. This issue did not affect the versions of the Linux kernel as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux MRG as they already contain the upstream commit that fixes this issue.
