NVD Description

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

net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13.6 allows local users to gain privileges via crafted system calls that trigger mishandling of packet_fanout data structures, because of a race condition (involving fanout_add and packet_do_bind) that leads to a use-after-free, a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-6346.
