Details

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in network namespaces code affecting the Linux kernel before 4.14.11. The function getnetnsbyid() in net/core/netnamespace.c does not check for the net::count value after it has found a peer network in netnsids idr, which could lead to double free and memory corruption. This vulnerability could allow an unprivileged local user to induce kernel memory corruption on the system, leading to a crash. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although it is thought to be unlikely.
