** Description changed:

- [virt-io max-skb-frags heap overflow]
+ The virtnet_probe function in drivers/net/virtio_net.c in the Linux
+ kernel before 4.2 attempts to support a FRAGLIST feature without proper
+ memory allocation, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of
+ service (buffer overflow and memory corruption) via a crafted sequence
+ of fragmented packets.
  
  Break-Fix: - 48900cb6af4282fa0fb6ff4d72a81aa3dadb5c39
