Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in OpenBSD, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a memory corruption within the "mbuf" handling of ICMP6 packets. This can be exploited to cause a kernel panic or execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.
Successful exploitation requires that an attacker can send fragmented ICMPv6 packets to a target local system.
The vulnerability is reported in versions 3.1 through 4.0. Other versions may also be affected.
