NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream realtime-kernel package and not the realtime-kernel package as distributed by RHEL.

The IPv4 implementation in the Linux kernel before 4.5.2 mishandles destruction of device objects, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS networking outage) by arranging for a large number of IP addresses.
