kernel: "Dirty Frag" ESP XFRM variant is a new universal Local Privilege Escalation (LPE) vulnerability in the Linux kernel

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's xfrm-ESP and RxRPC subsystems. Unsafe in-place cryptographic processing of shared socket buffer fragments allows a low-privileged local attacker to corrupt page-cache contents of readable files, including sensitive system files, and gain root privileges.
