Bugtraq id: 46793
Cve id: CVE-2011-1093

Linux Kernel is the Kernel of the Linux operating system.

Linux Kernel has a remote denial of service vulnerability in the implementation of NULL pointer reference. Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability to cause the affected Kernel to crash.

Dccp_rcv_state_process () is acceptable after the socket is closed. After it is disabled, the reset does not prevent operations on the discarded socket, which can cause NULL pointer reference.
