Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter component. Certain netfilter modules, including `ip6t_eui64` and `xt_mac`, accessed Ethernet MAC header data without first verifying that an Ethernet device was associated with the network packet or that the MAC header was present and of sufficient length. This oversight could allow a local or remote attacker to trigger an out-of-bounds read, potentially leading to a system crash and a Denial of Service (DoS).
