Description
A typo in Linux kernel 2.6 before 2.6.21-rc6 and 2.4 before 2.4.35 causes RTA_MAX to be used as an array size instead of RTN_MAX, which leads to an "out of bound access" by the (1) dn_fib_props (dn_fib.c, DECNet) and (2) fib_props (fib_semantics.c, IPv4) functions.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 2.4.0 < 2.4.35)
• linux linux kernel (>= 2.6.0 <= 2.6.20)
• linux linux kernel 2.6.21
• debian debian linux 3.1
