Fixes the following security vulnerabilities:
CVE-2017-8890
The inet_csk_clone_lock function in net/ipv4/inet_connection_sock.c in the
Linux kernel through 4.10.15 allows attackers to cause a denial of service
(double free) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging use
of the accept system call.
CVE-2017-9074
The IPv6 fragmentation implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.11.1
does not consider that the nexthdr field may be associated with an invalid
option, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds
read and BUG) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted socket
and send system calls.
CVE-2017-9075
The sctp_v6_create_accept_sk function in net/sctp/ipv6.c in the Linux kernel
through 4.11.1 mishandles inheritance, which allows local users to cause a
denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted
system calls, a related issue to CVE-2017-8890.
CVE-2017-9076
The dccp_v6_request_recv_sock function in net/dccp/ipv6.c in the Linux
kernel through 4.11.1 mishandles inheritance, which allows local users to
cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via
crafted system calls, a related issue to CVE-2017-8890.
CVE-2017-9077
The tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock function in net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c in the Linux kernel
through 4.11.1 mishandles inheritance, which allows local users to cause a
denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted
system calls, a related issue to CVE-2017-8890.
CVE-2017-9242
The __ip6_append_data function in net/ipv6/ip6_output.c in the Linux kernel
through 4.11.3 is too late in checking whether an overwrite of an skb data
structure may occur, which allows local users to cause a denial of service
(system crash) via crafted system calls.
