I'm not clear on the role of ipv6 here. The affected code is in
ipv4/tcp_input.c and there's no mention of tcp_v6_conn_request() there.
I'm guessing this was fixed in Linux 2.6.20.
Arguably this could have been given a 2007 ID, but the patch didn't
clearly label the problem as a security issue, so I will treat Eugene's
request as the first widely-public disclosure - thus a 2010 date.
Use CVE-2010-1188
