CVE-2017-14497: packet: Don't write vnet header beyond end of buffer · torvalds/linux@edbd58b
The tpacket_rcv function in net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13 mishandles vnet headers, which might allow local users to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow, and disk and memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted system calls.
