Priority
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.
Ubuntu-Description
Dmitry Vyukov discovered a use-after-free vulnerability during error
processing in the recvmmsg(2) implementation in the Linux kernel. A remote
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or
possibly execute arbitrary code.
