Description

The igb_receive_skb function in drivers/net/igb/igb_main.c in the Intel Gigabit Ethernet (aka igb) subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.34, when Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) and promiscuous mode are enabled but no VLANs are registered, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and panic) and possibly have unspecified other impact via a VLAN tagged frame.

Affected

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

v < 2.6.34
Affected range stops below 2.6.34, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
