Revision Date: 2016-10-10 Version: 1 Title: CVE-2016-7117 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (xenial) - medium. Description: Use-after-free vulnerability in the __sys_recvmmsg function in net/socket.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving a recvmmsg system call that is mishandled during error processing.

A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
