CVE-2017-7308 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade RHEL:7 kernel-devel to version 0:3.10.0-514.21.1.el7 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2017:1308.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-devel package and not the kernel-devel package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
The packet_set_ring function in net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel through 4.10.6 does not properly validate certain block-size data, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (integer signedness error and out-of-bounds write), or gain privileges (if the CAP_NET_RAW capability is held), via crafted system calls.
