CVE-2017-6347
Last modified
CVE-2017-6347 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The ip_cmsg_recv_checksum function in net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c in the Linux kernel before 4.10.1 has incorrect expectations about skb data layout, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted system calls, as demonstrated by use of the MSG_MORE flag in conjunction with loopback UDP transmission.. EPSS estimates a 0.44% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
