** Description changed: - [net: guard tcp_set_keepalive against crash] + The sock_setsockopt function in net/core/sock.c in the Linux kernel + before 3.5.7 does not ensure that a keepalive action is associated with + a stream socket, which allows local users to cause a denial of service + (system crash) by leveraging the ability to create a raw socket. Break-Fix: - 3e10986d1d698140747fcfc2761ec9cb64c1d582
