Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncontrolled Resource Consumption in the handling of received connection aborts in the rxrpc process. An attacker can cause in-flight calls to hang indefinitely and trigger a denial of service by sending specially crafted ABORT packets to a listening rxrpc service or an in-flight connection. This can result in permanent resource leaks and prevent network namespace teardown on the host.

Note: The Linux kernel project assigns a CVE to every bug fix it ships, whether or not the bug has been shown to be exploitable. This advisory was generated from that process and has not been individually assessed for exploitability. See the kernel's CVE process documentation: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/cve.rst
