How to fix?

Upgrade Oracle:5 kernel-headers to version 0:2.6.18-371.1.2.0.1.el5 or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2013-1449-1.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-headers package and not the kernel-headers package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:5 relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
