The Linux kernel before 3.12, when UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) is enabled, does not properly initialize certain data structures, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash) or possibly gain privileges via a crafted application that uses the UDP_CORK option in a setsockopt system call and sends both short and long packets, related to the ip_ufo_append_data function in net/ipv4/ip_output.c and the ip6_ufo_append_data function in net/ipv6/ip6_output.c.

CVE-2013-4470 Kernel: net: memory corruption with UDP_CORK and UFO
Linux kernel built with an Ethernet driver(ex virtio-net) which has UDP
Fragmentation Offload(UFO) feature ON is vulnerable to a memory corruption flaw
when UDP_CORK socket option is set. It could occur when sending large messages,
wherein not all messages are greater than maximum transfer unit(MTU) of the
underlying medium.
An unprivileged user/program could use this flaw to crash the kernel resulting in DoS, or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.
