[USN-4489-1] Linux kernel vulnerability

 ---------- Forwarded message ---------

Or Cohen discovered that the AF_PACKET implementation in the Linux

kernel did not properly perform bounds checking in some situations. A

local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system

crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
