Description Adam Mariš 2016-12-12 13:00:55 UTC
A flaw was found in the Linux networking subsystem where a local attacker with CAP_NET_ADMIN capbilities could cause an out of bounds read by creating a smaller-than-expected ICMP header and sending to its destination via sendto().

Due to lack of size checking on ICMP header length, it is possible to cause out-of-bounds read on stack, this stack data may be included in the outgoing packet data if it can be validated (infoleak).
