Description

The packet_set_ring function in net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel through 4.10.6 does not properly validate certain block-size data, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (integer signedness error and out-of-bounds write), or gain privileges (if the CAP_NET_RAW capability is held), via crafted system calls.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 2.6.27 < 3.2.89) • linux linux kernel (>= 3.3 < 3.10.107) • linux linux kernel (>= 3.11 < 3.12.74) • linux linux kernel (>= 3.13 < 3.16.44) • linux linux kernel (>= 3.17 < 3.18.52) • linux linux kernel (>= 3.19 < 4.1.41) • linux linux kernel (>= 4.2 < 4.4.66) • linux linux kernel (>= 4.5 < 4.9.26) • linux linux kernel (>= 4.10 < 4.10.14)
