Descriptions

Race condition in net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.13 allows local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a multithreaded application that makes PACKET_FANOUT setsockopt system calls.

Condición de carrera en net/packet/af_packet.c en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 4.9.13 permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (uso después de liberación de memoria) o la posibilidad de tener otro impacto no especificado a través de una aplicación multihilo que realizada llamadas al sistema PACKET_FANOUT setsockopt.

An update that solves two vulnerabilities and has two fixes is now available. This update for the Linux Kernel 4.4.82-6_9 fixes several issues. The following security issues were fixed. Net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges via crafted system calls that trigger mishandling of packet_fanout data structures, because of a race condition that leads to a use-after-free, a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-6346 Non security issues fixed. Wi-Fi Protected Access allowed reinstallation of the Group Temporal Key during the group key handshake, allowing an attacker within radio range to replay frames from access points to clients.
