[$] The case of the prematurely freed SKB
CVE-2017-6074 is the vulnerability identifier for a use-after-free bug in the kernel's network stack. This vulnerability is apparently exploitable in local privilege-escalation attacks. The problem, introduced in 2005, is easily fixed, but it points at a couple of shortcomings in the kernel development process; as a result, it would not be surprising if more bugs of this variety were to turn up in the near future.
