| Revision Date: | 2014-09-28 | Version: | 1 | | Title: | CVE-2012-6657 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (xenial) - medium. | | Description: | The sock_setsockopt function in net/core/sock.c in the Linux kernel before 3.5.7 does not ensure that a keepalive action is associated with a stream socket, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by leveraging the ability to create a raw socket. Dave Jones discovered that the Linux kernel's socket subsystem does not correctly ensure the keepalive action is associated with a stream socket. A local user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash) by creating a raw socket.
