CVE-2024-41007 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
There is no fixed version for Centos:7 python-perf.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-perf package and not the python-perf package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: avoid too many retransmit packets
If a TCP socket is using TCP_USER_TIMEOUT, and the other peer retracted its window to zero, tcp_retransmit_timer() can retransmit a packet every two jiffies (2 ms for HZ=1000), for about 4 minutes after TCP_USER_TIMEOUT has 'expired'.
The fix is to make sure tcp_rtx_probe0_timed_out() takes icsk->icsk_user_timeout into account.
Before blamed commit, the socket would not timeout after icsk->icsk_user_timeout, but would use standard exponential backoff for the retransmits.
Also worth noting that before commit e89688e3e978 ("net: tcp: fix unexcepted socket die when snd_wnd is 0"), the issue would last 2 minutes instead of 4.
