Description Vasyl Kaigorodov 2015-04-21 15:31:57 UTC 
Linux kernel built with the IPv4 networking support(CONFIG_NET) is vulnerable to a DoS flaw. It could occur while using TCP Fast open option when initiating a network connection. This issue is a regression caused by upstream commit '355a901e6cf1', when it was back-ported to older 3.10.y - 3.16.y branches.

An unprivileged local user could use this flaw to crash the system resulting in DoS.
