CVE-2010-3084
Description
From CVE.org
Buffer overflow in the niu_get_ethtool_tcam_all function in drivers/net/niu.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc4 allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via the ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL ethtool command.
Statement
This issue did not affect the versions of Linux kernel as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4, as they do not include support for the Neptune Ethernet driver. It did not affect Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and Red Hat Enterprise MRG, as they do not contain the upstream commit 2d96cf8c that introduced this flaw.
