The xfrm_replay_verify_len function in net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c in the Linux
kernel through 4.10.6 does not validate certain size data after an
XFRM_MSG_NEWAE update, which allows local users to obtain root privileges
or cause a denial of service (heap-based out-of-bounds access) by
leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability (CVE-2017-7184).
For other upstream fixes in this update, see the referenced changelogs.");
