Bug#287770: CAN-2004-1137: allow a local user to cause a denial of service



Package: kernel-image-2.4.27-i386
Severity: normal

Petter Reinholdsen (pere) forwarded some issues regarding the
RHEL kernels, and I've found that at least 2 of them affects
kernel-image-2.4.27-i386

> ISEC security research discovered multiple vulnerabilities in the IGMP
> functionality which was backported in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3
> kernels. These flaws could allow a local user to cause a denial of
> service (crash) or potentially gain privileges. Where multicast
> applications are being used on a system, these flaws may also allow
> remote users to cause a denial of service. The Common Vulnerabilities
> and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
> CAN-2004-1137 to this issue.

This one also Hangs one cpu effectivly (I checked CAN-2004-1016 first)
