CVE-2016-5870: Linux Kernel

High severity, CVSS 7.8. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The msm_ipc_router_close function in net/ipc_router/ipc_router_socket.c in the ipc_router component for the Linux kernel 3.x, as used in Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC) Android contributions for MSM devices and other products, allow attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering failure of an accept system call for an AF_MSM_IPC socket.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: from 3.0.0, up to and including 3.19.8
