NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dtrace-modules-4.1.12-61.1.6.el7uek package and not the dtrace-modules-4.1.12-61.1.6.el7uek package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The tipc_nl_publ_dump function in net/tipc/socket.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6 does not verify socket existence, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a dumpit operation.
