** Description changed: - Reading TCP stats when using TCP Illinois congestion control algorithm - can cause a divide by zero kernel oops. + The tcp_illinois_info function in net/ipv4/tcp_illinois.c in the Linux + kernel before 3.4.19, when the net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control illinois + setting is enabled, allows local users to cause a denial of service + (divide-by-zero error and OOPS) by reading TCP stats. Break-Fix: - 8f363b77ee4fbf7c3bbcf5ec2c5ca482d396d664
