CVE-2004-1137

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Multiple vulnerabilities in the IGMP functionality for Linux kernel 2.4.22 to 2.4.28, and 2.6.x to 2.6.9, allow local and remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via (1) the ip_mc_source function, which decrements a counter to -1, or (2) the igmp_marksources function, which does not properly validate IGMP message parameters and performs an out-of-bounds read.

Risk Assessment

The organization is at risk of denial of service or kernel compromise by local or remote attackers, potentially leading to data leakage or full system takeover.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to version 2.4.29 or later (for 2.4 branch) and 2.6.10 or later (for 2.6 branch), which contain fixes for these vulnerabilities.
