The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper state management in the reconnect worker handling in net/rds when canceling the reconnect worker before it is scheduled. A local user can trigger cancellation of the reconnect worker in that state to cause a denial of service.
The reconnect-pending bit may remain set indefinitely if the worker is canceled before being scheduled.
Remediation
