NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dtrace-modules-4.1.12-61.1.6.el6uek package and not the dtrace-modules-4.1.12-61.1.6.el6uek package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The nf_nat_redirect_ipv4 function in net/netfilter/nf_nat_redirect.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by sending certain IPv4 packets to an incompletely configured interface, a related issue to CVE-2003-1604.
