A flaw was found in the HDLC_PPP module of the Linux kernel. Memory corruption and a read overflow is caused by improper input validation in the ppp_cp_parse_cr function which can cause the system to crash or cause a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
Mitigation
To mitigate this issue, prevent modules hdlc_ppp, syncppp from being loaded. Please see <https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278> for how to blacklist a kernel module to prevent it from loading automatically.
