 Description: 
+ The nl_fib_input function in fib_frontend.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.15
+ does not check for valid lengths of the header and payload, which allows
+ remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory reference) via
+ malformed fib_lookup netlink messages.
 Notes: 
+ dannf> Well, I don't know how it could be exploited by an unpriveleged user -  dannf> but I don't think we need to worry about it.  The vulnerable function
+ dannf> wasn't added until after 2.6.12, and is already fixed in 2.6.15.
