A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of setsockopt for the SO_{SND|RCV}BUF setsockopt() system call. Users with non-namespace CAP_NET_ADMIN are able to trigger this call and create a situation in which the sockets sendbuff data size could be negative.

Description Adam Mariš 2016-12-06 10:21:32 EST 
A flaw was found in the Linux kernels implementation of setsockopt for the SO_{SND|RCV}BUF setsockopt() system call.  Users with non-namespace CAP_NET_ADMIN are able to trigger this call and create a situation in which the sockets sendbuff data size could be negative.  

This could adversely affect memory allocations and create situations where the system could crash or cause memory corruption.

This situation affects SO_SNDBUFF and SO_RCVBUFF similarly as shown in CVE-2016-9793.

Upstream patch:
