CVE-2017-7308
What it is
The packet_set_ring function in net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel through 4.10.6 does not properly validate certain block-size data, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (integer signedness error and out-of-bounds write), or gain privileges (if the CAP_NET_RAW capability is held), via crafted system calls.
At a glance
- Exploitability
- Can be exploited locally on the machine with a low-privilege account. High risk of data exposure, data tampering, service disruption.
- Exploit odds
- 17.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days (EPSS). Higher than most.
- Fix
- No patch or advisory is linked yet. Look at mitigations or restrict exposure.
