NVD Description

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

The inet_csk_clone_lock function in net/ipv4/inet_connection_sock.c in the Linux kernel through 4.10.15 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (double free) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging use of the accept system call.
