CVE-2011-4913 - Pasteurized Raps

Description

The rose_parse_ccitt function in net/rose/rose_subr.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 does not validate the FAC_CCITT_DEST_NSAP and FAC_CCITT_SRC_NSAP fields which allows remote attackers to (1) cause a denial of service (integer underflow heap memory corruption and panic) via a small length value in data sent to a ROSE socket or (2) conduct stack-based buffer overflow attacks via a large length value in data sent to a ROSE socket.
