CVE-2016-8666

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's networking subsystem handled offloaded packets with multiple layers of encapsulation in the GRO Generic Receive Offload code path. A remote attacker could use this flaw to trigger unbounded recursion in the kernel that could lead to stack corruption,...
