CVE-2017-6347 Information

Description

The ip_cmsg_recv_checksum function in net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c in the Linux kernel before 4.10.1 has incorrect expectations about skb data layout which allows local users to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted system calls as demonstrated by use of the MSG_MORE flag in conjunction with loopback UDP transmission.
