Greetings,

CAN-2005-0210 reads:

Netfilter in the Linux kernel 2.6.8.1 allows local users to cause a
denial of service (memory consumption) via certain packet fragments
that are reassembled twice, which causes a data structure to be
allocated twice.

Further details:

Please reference Ubuntu Security Notice USN-95-1 located here:

Thanks,
