NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dtrace-modules-3.8.13-35.3.2.el7uek package and not the dtrace-modules-3.8.13-35.3.2.el7uek package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The PPPoL2TP feature in net/l2tp/l2tp_ppp.c in the Linux kernel through 3.15.6 allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging data-structure differences between an l2tp socket and an inet socket.
