The icmp_check_sysrq function in net/ipv4/icmp.c in the kernel.org
projects/rt patches for the Linux kernel, as used in the kernel-rt package
before 3.10.0-327.22.1 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Real Time 7 and
other products, allows remote attackers to execute SysRq commands via
crafted ICMP Echo Request packets, as demonstrated by a brute-force attack
to discover a cookie, or an attack that occurs after reading the local
icmp_echo_sysrq file.
