CVE-2015-3636

kernel: ping sockets: use-after-free leading to local privilege escalation

Published Aug 6, 2015 CVSS 2.0 · 4.9 Medium EPSS 2.5% KEV · Not listed
Description
The ping_unhash function in net/ipv4/ping.c in the Linux kernel before 4.0.3 does not initialize a certain list data structure during an unhash operation, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) by leveraging the ability to make a SOCK_DGRAM socket system call for the IPPROTO_ICMP or IPPROTO_ICMPV6 protocol, and then making a connect system call after a disconnect.
