CVE-2017-2671 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Centos:6 kernel-debug to version 0:2.6.32-754.el6 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-debug package and not the kernel-debug package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.
The ping_unhash function in net/ipv4/ping.c in the Linux kernel through 4.10.8 is too late in obtaining a certain lock and consequently cannot ensure that disconnect function calls are safe, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) by leveraging access to the protocol value of IPPROTO_ICMP in a socket system call.
