Linux kernel ip_mc_source code execution
| linux-ipmcsource-code-execution (18481) |  High Risk |
Description:
Linux kernel could allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by a vulnerability in the IGMP (Internet Goup Management Protocol) implementation. A local attacker could call the ip_mc_source function to gain elevated privileges, and possibly execute arbitrary code or cause the system to crash.
