This fixes some security issues and vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to disclose potentially sensitive information, bypass certain security restrictions, cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially gain escalated privileges. For more information: SA38133 SA38199 SA38229 SA38317 SA38502 1) A NULL pointer dereference error within the "ip6_dst_lookup_tail()" function can be exploited to cause a kernel crash by sending specially crafted IPv6 traffic to a vulnerable system.
