AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 3.10.3

Description The issue is related to the incorrect handling of pending data in the udp v6 push pending frames function in the IPv6 implementation. This can be exploited by local users through a crafted application that utilizes the UDP CORK option in a setsockopt system call, leading to a denial of service (BUG and system crash).

Recommendations For Linux kernel versions prior to 3.10.3, update to version 3.10.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of the UDP CORK option in setsockopt system calls until a patch is available.
