CVE-2017-2671 (GCVE-0-2017-2671)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2017-04-05 06:23 – Updated: 2024-08-05 14:02
VLAI?
Summary
The ping_unhash function in net/ipv4/ping.c in the Linux kernel through 4.10.8 is too late in obtaining a certain lock and consequently cannot ensure that disconnect function calls are safe, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) by leveraging access to the protocol value of IPPROTO_ICMP in a socket system call.
