description

Linux kernel TCP request-socket handling is affected when socket migration fails during hash insertion. A timer associated with a freed replacement request socket may subsequently access released memory; an attacker would need to be able to induce the affected TCP migration failure, and the resulting impact is not established by the evidence.

mitigation

Update the Linux kernel to version 4.2 or a release containing commit 97c8a3c1f73d828de43a5a88e8a9a143efb2b661.

fixed in 97c8a3c1f73d828de43a5a88e8a9a143efb2b661, 4.2
