NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-perf package and not the python-perf package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The packet_set_ring function in net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel through 4.10.6 does not properly validate certain block-size data, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (integer signedness error and out-of-bounds write), or gain privileges (if the CAP_NET_RAW capability is held), via crafted system calls.
