(iproute local Denial of Service vulnerability)


    It has been reported that iproute can accept spoofed messages on the kernel
    netlink interface from local users. This could lead to a local Denial of
    Service condition.
  
Impact

    Local users could cause a Denial of Service.
  
Workaround

     A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are advised
     to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package.

Solution: 
    All iproute users should upgrade to version 20010824-r5 or later:
    # emerge sync
    # emerge -pv ">=sys-apps/iproute-20010824-r5";
    # emerge ">=sys-apps/iproute-20010824-r5";
