** Description changed:

- [net: guard tcp_set_keepalive against crash]
+ The sock_setsockopt function in net/core/sock.c in the Linux kernel
+ before 3.5.7 does not ensure that a keepalive action is associated with
+ a stream socket, which allows local users to cause a denial of service
+ (system crash) by leveraging the ability to create a raw socket.
  
  Break-Fix: - 3e10986d1d698140747fcfc2761ec9cb64c1d582
