Doc Text:
The Linux kernel allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via UDP traffic that triggers an unsafe second checksum calculation during execution of a recv system call with the MSG_PEEK flag. This may create a kernel panic or memory corruption leading to privilege escalation.

Description Andrej Nemec 2017-04-06 08:52:24 EDT 
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel which allows remote attackers to crash the system or corrupt kernel memory, possibly leading to arbitrary code execution, via UDP traffic that triggers an unsafe second checksum calculation during the execution of a recv system call with the MSG_PEEK flag.

Comment 1 Wade Mealing 2017-04-10 02:58:04 EDT 
Created kernel tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1440624]
Comment 2 Justin M. Forbes 2017-04-10 10:13:44 EDT 
This fix was committed upstream in the 4.5 kernel merge window (Dec 2015). It has never impacted any of the currently supported versions of Fedora.
Comment 3 Wade Mealing 2017-04-10 20:50:22 EDT 
Statement:

This issue does not affect the Linux kernel packages as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6 as the code that introduced the flaw is not present in these products.

This issue does not affect the Linux kernel packages as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2, and realtime kernels as these contain the fixed commit.
