[Bug 1496232] Re: CVE-2015-6937

Sender: bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
** Description changed:

- It was discovered that the Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS)
- implementation in the Linux kernel did not verify sockets were properly
- bound before attempting to send a message, which could cause a NULL
- pointer dereference. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of
- service (system crash).
+ The __rds_conn_create function in net/rds/connection.c in the Linux
+ kernel through 4.2.3 allows local users to cause a denial of service
+ (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified
+ other impact by using a socket that was not properly bound.
  
  Break-Fix: - 74e98eb085889b0d2d4908f59f6e00026063014f
