Description Prasad J Pandit 2013-12-06 08:07:45 EST 
Linux kernel built with the TCP/IP networking support(CONFIG_NET) is vulnerable
to a NULL pointer dereference flaw. It could occur via a plain read(2) call on
a ping socket. Usage of ping sockets is generally restricted to privileged
users.

A user/program able to read from ping sockets could use this flaw to crash a
system resulting in DoS.
