Title:CVE-2017-15115 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (xenial) - medium.
Description:The sctp_do_peeloff function in net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel before 4.14 does not check whether the intended netns is used in a peel-off action, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted system calls.

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