Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dtrace-modules-3.8.13-118.17.4.el7uek package and not the dtrace-modules-3.8.13-118.17.4.el7uek package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The bpf_int_jit_compile function in arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp.c in the Linux kernel before 4.0.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by creating a packet filter and then loading crafted BPF instructions that trigger late convergence by the JIT compiler.
