CVE-2023-42752: Kernel: integer overflow in igmpv3_newpack leading to exploitable memory access
First published: Mon Sep 18 2023(Updated: )
An integer overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel. This issue leads to the kernel allocating `skb_shared_info` in the userspace, which is exploitable in systems without SMAP protection since `skb_shared_info` contains references to function pointers.
