NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dtrace-modules-3.8.13-68.3.4.el6uek package and not the dtrace-modules-3.8.13-68.3.4.el6uek package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
