CVE-2016-9806

Condición de carrera en la función netlink_dump en net/netlink/af_netlink.c en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 4.6.3 permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (liberación doble) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de una aplicación manipulada que realiza llamadas al sistema sendmsg, conduciendo a una operación libre asociada con un nuevo volcado que comenzó antes de lo anticipado.

A double free vulnerability was found in netlink_dump, which could cause a denial of service or possibly other unspecified impact. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely.

The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements. Security Fix: An use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel which enables a race condition in the L2TPv3 IP Encapsulation feature. A local user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges or crash the system. A flaw was found that can be triggered in keyring_search_iterator in keyring.c if type->match is NULL. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges.
