Description:
7
 
 The Linux kernel before 2.6.25.10 does not properly perform tty operations,
8
 
 which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or
9
 
 possibly gain privileges via vectors involving NULL pointer dereference of
10
 
 function pointers in (1) hamradio/6pack.c, (2) hamradio/mkiss.c, (3)
11
 
 irda/irtty-sir.c, (4) ppp_async.c, (5) ppp_synctty.c, (6) slip.c, (7)
12
 
 wan/x25_asy.c, and (8) wireless/strip.c in drivers/net/.

Ubuntu-Description:
14
 
 It was discovered that there were multiple NULL-pointer function
15
 
 dereferences in the Linux kernel terminal handling code.  A local
16
