Integer signedness error in the ax25_setsockopt function in net/ax25/af_ax25.c in the ax25 subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.31.2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via a crafted optlen value in an SO_BINDTODEVICE operation. This issue did not affect the versions of Linux kernel as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, 5, or Red Hat Enterprise MRG, as the affected driver is not enabled in these kernels. The affected driver is available in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, but only if the kernel-unsupported package is installed. Future kernel update in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 may address this flaw. The CVSS score(s) listed for this vulnerability do not reflect the associated product's status, and are included for informational purposes to better understand the severity of this vulnerability.
