Description

Race condition in ip_vs_conn_flush in Linux 2.6 before 2.6.13 and 2.4 before 2.4.32-pre2, when running on SMP systems, allows local users to cause a denial of service (null dereference) by causing a connection timer to expire while the connection table is being flushed before the appropriate lock is acquired.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

2.4.0 ≤ v ≤ 2.4.312.6.0 ≤ v < 2.6.13
Affected range stops below 2.6.13, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
