  "details" : [ "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\ntcp: avoid too many retransmit packets\nIf a TCP socket is using TCP_USER_TIMEOUT, and the other peer\nretracted its window to zero, tcp_retransmit_timer() can\nretransmit a packet every two jiffies (2 ms for HZ=1000),\nfor about 4 minutes after TCP_USER_TIMEOUT has 'expired'.\nThe fix is to make sure tcp_rtx_probe0_timed_out() takes\nicsk->icsk_user_timeout into account.\nBefore blamed commit, the socket would not timeout after\nicsk->icsk_user_timeout, but would use standard exponential\nbackoff for the retransmits.\nAlso worth noting that before commit e89688e3e978 (\"net: tcp:\nfix unexcepted socket die when snd_wnd is 0\"), the issue\nwould last 2 minutes instead of 4.", "A vulnerability was found in the tcp_retransmit_timer function in the Linux kernel's TCP implementation. This issue occurs when a TCP socket uses TCP_USER_TIMEOUT and the peer's window retracts to zero, leading to excessive retransmission of packets every two milliseconds for up to four minutes after the timeout, which can result in network congestion and performance degradation." ],
