kernel: ipv4: validate checksum_start before completing checksum

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A local attacker or untrusted guest virtual machine can exploit this vulnerability by transmitting network packets containing malformed checksum metadata into the IPv4 networking subsystem. This failure to validate checksum metadata can corrupt memory during...

kernel: ipv4: free inet_opt and ireq_opt after an RCU grace period

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IPv4 networking subsystem. A race condition occurs during concurrent processing of retransmitted Transmission Control Protocol TCP connection requests or socket migrations, allowing socket options to be freed while still in use. A remote attacker could explo...
