CVE-2009-4138

Publication date 16 December 2009

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

drivers/firewire/ohci.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.32-git9, when packet-per-buffer mode is used, allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unknown other impact via an unspecified ioctl associated with receiving an ISO packet that contains zero in the payload-length field.
