Detailed vulnerability description

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition within the tcp_send_fin() function in net/ipv4/tcp_output.c, within the tcp_rcv_state_process() function in net/ipv4/tcp_input.c, within the tcp_shutdown() and __tcp_close() functions in net/ipv4/tcp.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
