3.2 LOW — AV:A/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:P

Description

The ipv6_create_tempaddr function in net/ipv6/addrconf.c in the Linux kernel through 3.8 does not properly handle problems with the generation of IPv6 temporary addresses, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (excessive retries and address-generation outage), and consequently obtain sensitive information, via ICMPv6 Router Advertisement (RA) messages.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (<= 3.8) • linux linux kernel 3.0 • linux linux kernel 3.0.1 • linux linux kernel 3.0.2 • linux linux kernel 3.0.3 • linux linux kernel 3.0.4 • linux linux kernel 3.0.5 • linux linux kernel 3.0.6 • linux linux kernel 3.0.7 • linux linux kernel 3.0.8 • linux linux kernel 3.0.9 • linux linux kernel 3.0.10 • linux linux kernel 3.0.11 • linux linux kernel 3.0.12 • linux linux kernel 3.0.13 • linux linux kernel 3.0.14 • linux linux kernel 3.0.15 • linux linux kernel 3.0.16 • linux linux kernel 3.0.17 • linux linux kernel 3.0.18 • linux linux kernel 3.0.19 • linux linux kernel 3.0.20 • linux linux kernel 3.0.21 • linux linux kernel 3.0.22 • linux linux kernel 3.0.23 • linux linux kernel 3.0.24 • linux linux kernel 3.0.25 • linux linux kernel 3.0.26 • linux linux kernel 3.0.27 • linux linux kernel 3.0.28 • linux linux kernel 3.0.29 • linux linux kernel 3.0.30 • linux linux kernel 3.0.31 • linux linux kernel 3.0.32 • linux linux kernel 3.0.33 • linux linux kernel 3.0.34 • linux linux kernel 3.0.35 • linux linux kernel 3.0.36 • linux linux kernel 3.0.37 • linux linux kernel 3.0.38 • linux linux kernel 3.0.39 • linux linux kernel 3.0.40 • linux linux kernel 3.0.41 • linux linux kernel 3.0.42 • linux linux kernel 3.0.43 • linux linux kernel 3.0.44 • linux linux kernel 3.1 • linux linux kernel 3.1.1 • linux linux kernel 3.1.2 • linux linux kernel 3.1.3 • linux linux kernel 3.1.4 • linux linux kernel 3.1.5 • linux linux kernel 3.1.6 • linux linux kernel 3.1.7 • linux linux kernel 3.1.8 • linux linux kernel 3.1.9 • linux linux kernel 3.1.10 • linux linux kernel 3.2 • linux linux kernel 3.2.1 • linux linux kernel 3.2.2 … and 92 more
