VuXML ID 41d2f3e6-f680-11e9-a87f-a4badb2f4699
Discovery 2019-08-06
Entry 2019-10-24

Problem Description:

The ICMPv6 input path incorrectly handles cases where an MLDv2 listener query packet is internally fragmented across multiple mbufs.

Impact:

A remote attacker may be able to cause an out-of-bounds read or write that may cause the kernel to attempt to access an unmapped page and subsequently panic.
