Linux Kernel TCP Related Read Use-After-Free
Posted by deepcore on November 10, 2016 – 1:34 am
The tcp_check_send_head function in include/net/tcp.h in the Linux kernel before 4.7.5 does not properly maintain certain SACK state after a failed data copy, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue use-after-free and system crash) via a crafted SACK option.
