Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 3.12.4

Description The issue is related to the ping recvmsg function in the Linux kernel, which does not properly interact with read system calls on ping sockets. This allows local users with unspecified privileges to cause a denial of service, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference and system crash, by executing a crafted application.

Recommendations For Linux kernel versions prior to 3.12.4, update to version 3.12.4 or later to resolve the issue.
