Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in OpenBSD, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
1) An error within the "ip6_check_rh0hdr()" function in sys/netinet6/ip6_input.c can be exploited to cause a kernel panic via malformed IPV6 routing headers.
The vulnerability is reported in OpenBSD 4.2.
2) An error within the "tcp_respond()" function in sys/netinet/tcp_subr.c can be exploited to cause a kernel panic via specially crafted TCP packets.
The vulnerability is reported in OpenBSD 4.1 and 4.2. Other versions may also be affected.
