Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
EUVDB-ID: #VU10678
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-18017
CWE-ID:
CWE-416 - Use After Free
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition no the target system.
The weakness exists in the tcpmss_mangle_packet function in net/netfilter/xt_TCPMSS.c in the Linux kernel due to use-after-free error. A remote attacker can leverage the presence of xt_TCPMSS in an iptables action, trigger memory corruption and cause the system to crash.
