**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel versions prior to 4.10.8 **Description** The issue is related to the `ping unhash` function in the Linux kernel, specifically in the `net/ipv4/ping.c` file. It is associated with inadequate access control. The exploitation of this issue can allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service by utilizing access to the `IPPROTO ICMP` protocol value in a socket system call. This can lead to a system panic. **Recommendations** For Linux kernel versions prior to 4.10.8, update to version 4.10.8 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `IPPROTO ICMP` protocol value in socket system calls to minimize the risk of exploitation.
