** Description changed:

- [IPv6 connect causes a denial of service]
+ The networking implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.3.3, as used
+ in Android and other products, does not validate protocol identifiers
+ for certain protocol families, which allows local users to cause a
+ denial of service (NULL function pointer dereference and system crash)
+ or possibly gain privileges by leveraging CLONE_NEWUSER support to
+ execute a crafted SOCK_RAW application.
