CVE-2019-12381 (CCN-161704)

Assigned:2019-05-25
Published:2019-05-25
Updated:2019-06-20
Summary:** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in ip_ra_control in net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c in the Linux kernel through 5.1.5. There is an unchecked kmalloc of new_ra, which might allow an attacker to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash).
Note: this is disputed because new_ra is never used if it is NULL.
