CVE-2005-3858 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Memory leak in the ip6_input_finish function in ip6_input.c in Linux kernel 2.6.12 and earlier might allow attackers to cause a denial of service via malformed IPv6 packets with unspecified parameter problems, which prevents the SKB from being freed.. EPSS estimates a 3.29% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
