Descriptions
The ipv4_pktinfo_prepare function in net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.9 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via (1) an application that makes crafted system calls or possibly (2) IPv4 traffic with invalid IP options.
La función ipv4_pktinfo_prepare en net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c en el kernel de Linux hasta la versión 4.9.9 permite a atacantes provocar una denegación de servicio (caída de sistema) a través de (1) una aplicación que hace llamadas de sistema manipuladas o posiblemente (2) tráfico IPv4 con opciones IP inválidas.
A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel where having malicious IP options present would cause the ipv4_pktinfo_prepare() function to drop/free the dst. This could result in a system crash or possible privilege escalation.
