Description Prasad J Pandit 2013-07-23 15:32:27 EDT 
Linux kernel built with the IPv6 networking support is vulnerable to a crash
while appending data to an IPv6 socket with UDP_CORKED option set. UDP_CORK
enables accumulating data and sending it as single datagram.

An unprivileged user/program could use this flaw to crash the kernel, resulting in local DoS.
