kernel: ipv4: Incorrect IP_CHECKSUM handling

Published Mar 1, 2017 CVSS 3.1 · 7.8 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
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.
