Description Martin Prpič 2016-08-08 10:02:29 UTC 
It was found that the Linux kernel's IPv6 implementation mishandles socket option data. A local attacker can abuse concurrent access to the socket options to escalate their privileges, or cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) via a crafted sendmsg system call.
