The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a numeric error vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-189. As an impact it is known to affect availability. CVE summarizes:

Multiple integer signedness errors in net/rose/af_rose.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc5-next-20100923 allow local users to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a rose_getname function call, related to the rose_bind and rose_connect functions.

The issue has been introduced in 03/20/2006. The weakness was disclosed 09/29/2010 by Dan Rosenberg (Website). The advisory is available at kernel.org. This vulnerability was named CVE-2010-3310. Local access is required to approach this attack. No form of authentication is required for a successful exploitation. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit.

The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 1648 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 50825 (Debian DSA-2126-1 : linux-2.6 - privilege escalation/denial of service/information leak), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Debian Local Security Checks. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 165622 (SUSE Enterprise Linux Security Update Linux kernel (SUSE-SA:2010:060)).

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.
