CVE-2018-10938 (GCVE-0-2018-10938)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2018-08-27 13:00 – Updated: 2024-08-05 07:54
VLAI?
Summary
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel present since v4.0-rc1 and through v4.13-rc4. A crafted network packet sent remotely by an attacker may force the kernel to enter an infinite loop in the cipso_v4_optptr() function in net/ipv4/cipso_ipv4.c leading to a denial-of-service. A certain non-default configuration of LSM (Linux Security Module) and NetLabel should be set up on a system before an attacker could leverage this flaw.
Severity ?
No CVSS data available.
