Candidate: CVE-2007-1730 References: http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/archive/1/463934/100/0/threaded http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/archive/1/464144/100/0/threaded http://marc.info/?l=dccp&m=117509584316267&w=2 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.20.y.git;a=commit;h=4eb3dd593742225da375596564aca6aca2470999 Description: Integer signedness error in the DCCP support in the do_dccp_getsockopt function in net/dccp/proto.c in Linux kernel 2.6.20 and later allows local users to read kernel memory or cause a denial of service (oops) via a negative optlen value. Ubuntu-Description: The do_dccp_getsockopt() function did not sufficiently verify the optlen argument. A local attacker could exploit this to read kernel memory (which might expose sensitive data) or cause a kernel crash. This only affects Ubuntu 7.04. Notes: Earlier kernels than 2.6.20 do not have these options.
