Oracle Linux: CVE-2023-52340: ELSA-2024-3138: kernel security, bug fix, and enhancement update (MODERATE)

The IPv6 implementation in the Linux kernel before 6.3 has a net/ipv6/route.c max_size threshold that can be consumed easily, e.g., leading to a denial of service (network is unreachable errors) when IPv6 packets are sent in a loop via a raw socket.
A flaw in the routing table size was found in the ICMPv6 handling of "Packet Too Big". The size of the routing table is regulated by periodic garbage collection. However, with "Packet Too Big Messages" it is possible to exceed the routing table size and garbage collector threshold. A user located in the local network or with a high bandwidth connection can increase the CPU usage of the server that accepts IPV6 connections up to 95%.
