The __inet6_check_established function in net/ipv6/inet6_hashtables.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.29, when Network Namespace Support (aka NET_NS) is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via vectors involving IPv6 packets.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2009-1360 is a Linux kernel IPv6 flaw that could let a remote attacker crash affected systems. It only applies to kernels before 2.6.29 when Network Namespace Support is enabled. The business impact is availability loss, not data theft, based on the supplied sources. Exposure is most likely on legacy Linux systems running kernels older than 2.6.29 with IPv6 reachable and NET_NS enabled. Modern supported distributions are unlikely to be exposed, but embedded, appliance, or long-lived custom kernels should be checked. Prioritize if legacy Linux systems remain internet-facing or support critical services. For current supported Linux fleets, this is mainly a hygiene check to confirm old kernels are absent. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Linux kernels to 2.6.29 or a vendor-fixed build.; Apply relevant distribution kernel advisories from Ubuntu, SUSE, Mandriva, or current vendor guidance.; Prioritize externally reachable IPv6 hosts and legacy appliances for remediation..
