Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2008-02-07 22:00 - Updated: 2026-06-16 22:49
Severity
Summary
The ipcomp6_input function in sys/netinet6/ipcomp_input.c in the KAME project before 20071201 does not properly check the return value of the m_pulldown function, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via an IPv6 packet with an IPComp header.
