Buffer overflow in the USB Gadget RNDIS implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.16 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kmalloc'd memory corruption) via a remote NDIS response to OID_GEN_SUPPORTED_LIST, which causes memory to be allocated for the reply data but not the reply structure.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2006-1368 is an old Linux kernel flaw in the USB Gadget RNDIS implementation. A malformed RNDIS response could corrupt kernel memory and cause a denial of service. Business impact is mainly outage risk for systems running Linux kernels before 2.6.16 with this USB gadget networking feature present. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Linux systems or embedded devices using kernels before 2.6.16 and the USB Gadget RNDIS component. Modern distributions are unlikely to be exposed unless running very old or vendor-forked kernels. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item unless vulnerable devices are still deployed in critical environments. It is not KEV-listed in the bundle, but kernel denial-of-service risk can matter for appliances, industrial systems, and unsupported embedded products. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Linux kernels to 2.6.16 or vendor-fixed packages.; Review Ubuntu, Debian, Mandriva, or applicable vendor advisories for package-specific fixes.; Disable unused USB Gadget RNDIS functionality where operationally feasible..
