The econet_sendmsg function in net/econet/af_econet.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36.2, when an econet address is configured, allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) via a sendmsg call that specifies a NULL value for the remote address field.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Linux kernel denial-of-service issue. A local user could crash an affected system when Econet networking is configured. It is not described as remote code execution, and the provided sources do not show active exploitation, but public exploit discussion existed in 2010. Exposure is most likely on legacy Linux systems running kernels before 2.6.36.2 or vendor backports without the fix, where Econet support is present and configured. Local user access is required based on the CVE description. Treat this as a legacy Linux stability risk, not an internet-facing emergency from the provided evidence. Prioritize patching where old kernels and local user access overlap, especially shared hosting, lab, appliance, or unsupported systems. Mitigation focus: Update to a kernel containing the 2.6.36.2 fix or a vendor backport.; Review Debian, Ubuntu, SUSE, Mandriva, and Red Hat advisories for affected packages.; Prioritize legacy multi-user Linux hosts where local users can run programs..
