NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-uek-devel package and not the kernel-uek-devel package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c in the Linux kernel through 4.12.3, when CONFIG_XFRM_MIGRATE is enabled, does not ensure that the dir value of xfrm_userpolicy_id is XFRM_POLICY_MAX or less, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via an XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE xfrm Netlink message.
