Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's VM sockets (vsock) subsystem. This issue allows a local user to cause memory corruption and trigger a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). The vulnerability occurs due to a race condition between socket connection establishment and reset handling, which improperly allows an active socket to be manipulated while still present in the connected socket table.
