in packet_do_bind, test fanout with bind_lock held and hold bind lock when rebinding to fanout hook in kernel-packet CVE-2017-15649
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.
