CVE-2008-2358 (CCN-43034)

Assigned:2008-06-09
Published:2008-06-09
Updated:2017-09-29
Summary:Integer overflow in the dccp_feat_change function in net/dccp/feat.c in the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) subsystem in the Linux kernel 2.6.18, and 2.6.17 through 2.6.20, allows local users to gain privileges via an invalid feature length, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow.
