** Description changed:

- Local DOS fixed in commit 77c1090 "net: fix infinite loop in
- __skb_recv_datagram()"? An unprivileged local user can easily trigger
- this bug and lock-up the system.
+ The __skb_recv_datagram function in net/core/datagram.c in the Linux
+ kernel before 3.8 does not properly handle the MSG_PEEK flag with zero-
+ length data, which allows local users to cause a denial of service
+ (infinite loop and system hang) via a crafted application.
  
  Break-Fix: - 77c1090f94d1b0b5186fb13a1b71b47b1343f87f
