Description:
A vulnerability has been identified in NetBSD, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) on a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due an error in the OSI networking kernel (sys/netiso) when handling certain error conditions. This can be exploited by sending a specially crafted OSI networking packet, which causes the network driver to crash.
The vulnerability affects the following versions:
NetBSD-current (source prior to May 26, 2003)
NetBSD 1.6.1
NetBSD 1.6
NetBSD-1.5.3
