NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-uek-debug-modules-extra package and not the kernel-uek-debug-modules-extra package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

A race condition was found in the Linux kernel's IP framework for transforming packets (XFRM subsystem) when multiple calls to xfrm_probe_algs occurred simultaneously. This flaw could allow a local attacker to potentially trigger an out-of-bounds write or leak kernel heap memory by performing an out-of-bounds read and copying it into a socket.
