Descriptions
The IPv6 fragmentation implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.11.1 does not consider that the nexthdr field may be associated with an invalid option, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and BUG) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted socket and send system calls.
La implementación IPv6 Fragmentation en el kernel de Linux hasta la versión 4.11.1 no considera que el campo nexthdr puede estar asociado a una opción no válida, lo que permite a los usuarios locales causar una denegación de servicio (lectura fuera de límites y BUG) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado por medio de un socket creado y enviar llamadas del sistema.
The IPv6 fragmentation implementation in the Linux kernel does not consider that the nexthdr field may be associated with an invalid option, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and BUG) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted socket and send system calls. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely.
