CWE-400  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Oracle:6 kernel-debug to version 0:2.6.32-358.14.1.el6 or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2013-1051.

NVD Description

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

The tcp_read_sock function in net/ipv4/tcp.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.34 does not properly manage skb consumption, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted splice system call for a TCP socket.
