CVE-2015-3212

Vulnerabilidad de condición de carrera en net/stcp/socket.c en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 4.1.2, permite a usuarios locales causar una denegación de servicio (lista corrupta y pánico) a través de una serie de llamadas al sistema relacionadas con sockets, según lo demostrado por las llamadas setsockopt.

A race condition flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's SCTP implementation handled Address Configuration lists when performing Address Configuration Change (ASCONF). A local attacker could use this flaw to crash the system via a race condition triggered by setting certain ASCONF options on a socket.

The kernel-rt packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. A flaw was found in the kernel's implementation of the Berkeley Packet Filter. A local attacker could craft BPF code to crash the system by creating a situation in which the JIT compiler would fail to correctly optimize the JIT image on the last pass. This would lead to the CPU executing instructions that were not part of the JIT code. Two flaws were found in the way the Linux kernel's networking implementation handled UDP packets with incorrect checksum values. A remote attacker could potentially use these flaws to trigger an infinite loop in the kernel, resulting in a denial of service on the system, or cause a denial of service in applications using the edge triggered epoll functionality.
