    "description": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ninet: RAW sockets using IPPROTO_RAW MUST drop incoming ICMP\n\nYizhou Zhao reported that simply having one RAW socket on protocol\nIPPROTO_RAW (255) was dangerous.\n\n  socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, 255);\n\nA malicious incoming ICMP packet can set the protocol field to 255\nand match this socket, leading to FNHE cache changes.\n\ninner = IP(src=\"192.168.2.1\", dst=\"8.8.8.8\", proto=255)/Raw(\"TEST\")\npkt = IP(src=\"192.168.1.1\", dst=\"192.168.2.1\")/ICMP(type=3, code=4, nexthopmtu=576)/inner\n\n\"man 7 raw\" states:\n\n  A protocol of IPPROTO_RAW implies enabled IP_HDRINCL and is able\n  to send any IP protocol that is specified in the passed header.\n  Receiving of all IP protocols via IPPROTO_RAW is not possible\n  using raw sockets.\n\nMake sure we drop these malicious packets.",
