kernel: Exploitable memory corruption due to UFO to non-UFO path switch

An exploitable memory corruption flaw was found in the Linux kernel. The append path can be erroneously switched from UFO to non-UFO in ipufoappenddata when building an UFO packet with MSGMORE option. If unprivileged user namespaces are available, this flaw can be exploited to gain root privilege...
