net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13.6 allows local users to gain privileges via crafted system calls that trigger mishandling of packet_fanout data structures, because of a race condition (involving fanout_add and packet_do_bind) that leads to a use-after-free, a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-6346. 7.8high

Patches |1| and |2| are available.

File affected: kernel-adaptation-sbj-3.4.108.20161101.1/net/packet/af_packet.c lines 1342-1345; 1351-1354; 2488-2497
