Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: unix |
A flaw was discovered in processing setsockopt IP6T_SO_SET_REPLACE for 32 bit processes on 64 bit systems. This flaw will allow local user to gain privileges or cause a DoS through user name space. This action is usually restricted to root-privileged users but can also be leveraged if the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_USER_NS and CONFIG_NET_NS and the user is granted elevated privileges.
