Description Prasad Pandit 2013-10-25 13:52:19 UTC 
Linux kernel built with an Ethernet driver(ex virtio-net) which has UDP
Fragmentation Offload(UFO) feature ON is vulnerable to a memory corruption flaw
when UDP_CORK socket option is set. It could occur when sending large messages,
wherein not all messages are greater than maximum transfer unit(MTU) of the
underlying medium.

An unprivileged user/program could use this flaw to crash the kernel resulting in DoS, or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.
