kernel: Heap out-of-bounds read in AF_PACKET sockets

A race condition issue was found in the way the raw packet socket implementation in the Linux kernel networking subsystem handled synchronization. A local user able to open a raw packet socket requires the CAPNETRAW capability could use this to waste resources in the kernel's ring buffer or...
