Synopsis: Important: kernel security update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2017:0294-1
Issue Date: 2017-02-22
CVE Numbers: CVE-2017-6074
—
Security Fix(es):
* A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel’s Datagram
Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) implementation freed SKB (socket
buffer) resources for a DCCP_PKT_REQUEST packet when the IPV6_RECVPKTINFO
option is set on the socket. A local, unprivileged user could use this
flaw to alter the kernel memory, allowing them to escalate their
privileges on the system. (CVE-2017-6074, Important)
