NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream oracleasm-2.6.18-128.1.1.0.1.el5 package and not the oracleasm-2.6.18-128.1.1.0.1.el5 package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:5 relevant fixed versions and status.

The __qdisc_run function in net/sched/sch_generic.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.25 on SMP machines allows local users to cause a denial of service (soft lockup) by sending a large amount of network traffic, as demonstrated by multiple simultaneous invocations of the Netperf benchmark application in UDP_STREAM mode.
