Description Adam Mariš 2016-06-24 12:51:05 UTC
An out-of-bounds heap memory access, leading to a Denial of Service or possibly heap disclosure or further impact was found in setsockopt(). The particular setsockopt() call is normally restricted to root, however some processes with cap_sys_admin may also be able to trigger this flaw.
