Description

Integer underflow in the dccp_parse_options function (net/dccp/options.c) in the Linux kernel before 2.6.33.14 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) packet with an invalid feature options length, which triggers a buffer over-read.

Affected

v < 2.6.33.14
Affected range stops below 2.6.33.14, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
