DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in the Linux Kernel, which can be
exploited by malicious, local users to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service) and potentially gain escalated privileges.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
"niu_get_ethtool_tcam_all()" function in drivers/net/niu.c, which can
be exploited to e.g. cause a kernel crash by sending a specially
crafted  ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL IOCTL.

Successful exploitation requires that the Sun Neptune ethernet driver
(NIU) is used.

SOLUTION:
Restrict access to trusted users only.
