CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Oracle:6 kernel-uek-doc to version 0:2.6.32-400.37.11.el6uek or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2015-3073.

NVD Description

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

The (1) udp_recvmsg and (2) udpv6_recvmsg functions in the Linux kernel before 4.0.6 do not properly consider yielding a processor, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system hang) via incorrect checksums within a UDP packet flood.
