  "details" : [ "In the Linux kernel before 5.0, a memory leak exists in sit_init_net() in net/ipv6/sit.c when register_netdev() fails to register sitn->fb_tunnel_dev, which may cause denial of service, aka CID-07f12b26e21a.", "A flaw was found in the way the sit_init_net function in the Linux kernel handled resource cleanup on errors. This flaw allows an attacker to use the error conditions to crash the system." ],
  "statement" : "This issue is rated as having Low impact because of the preconditions needed to trigger the error/resource cleanup code path (system-wide out-of-memory condition, high privileges or physical access).",
