[$] The case of the prematurely freed SKB

CVE-2017-6074 is the vulnerability identifierfor a use-after-free bug in the kernel's network stack. This vulnerabilityis apparently exploitable in local privilege-escalation attacks. Theproblem, introduced in 2005, is easily fixed, but it points at a couple ofshortcomings in the kernel development process; as a result, it would notbe surprising if more bugs of this variety were to turn up in the nearfuture.
