Title: Linux Kernel BER Decoding Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Severity: CRITICAL
Description:
The Linux Kernel is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. The vulnerability occurs in the 'asn1_ioid_decode()' structure of the 'ip_nat_snmp_basic.c' source file. Specifically, the vulnerability occurs when decoding OIDs encoded with Basic Encoding Rules (BER).
An attacker can exploit this issue by constructing and sending a malicious packet to the affected computer.
Successfully exploiting this issue will allow attackers to execute arbitrary code with kernel-level privileges, resulting in the complete compromise of affected computers. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
