Descriptions

The dccp_disconnect function in net/dccp/proto.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.3 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via an AF_UNSPEC connect system call during the DCCP_LISTEN state.

La función dccp_disconnect en net/dccp/proto.c en el kernel de Linux hasta la versión 4.14.3 permite que usuarios locales obtengan privilegios o provoquen una denegación de servicio (uso de memoria previamente liberada) mediante una llamada del sistema de conexión AF_UNSPEC durante el estado DCCP_LISTEN.

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in DCCP socket code affecting the Linux kernel since 2.6.16. This vulnerability could allow an attacker to their escalate privileges.

The Linux kernel suffers from a DCCP socket use-after-free vulnerability.
