NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream linux-4.9 package and not the linux-4.9 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel before 5.5.8, get_raw_socket in drivers/vhost/net.c lacks validation of an sk_family field, which might allow attackers to trigger kernel stack corruption via crafted system calls.
