**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel versions prior to 4.10.15 **Description** The issue is related to the inet csk clone lock function in the Linux kernel, which can be exploited to cause a denial of service due to a double free error. This can be achieved by leveraging the use of the accept system call. The estimated number of potentially affected devices worldwide is not specified. There is no information about real-world incidents where this issue was exploited. **Recommendations** For Linux kernel versions prior to 4.10.15, update to a version 4.10.15 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the accept system call to minimize the risk of exploitation.
