The Linux kernel 4.14.67 mishandles certain interaction among XFRM Netlink
messages, IPPROTO_AH packets, and IPPROTO_IP packets, which allows local
users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and system hang) by
leveraging root access to execute crafted applications, as demonstrated on
CentOS 7.
