Improper resource allocation In linux
Description
A denial-of-service flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TLS implementation. An adversarial network receiver can keep the TCP receive window (RWIN) at zero for extended periods, causing a thread holding the tx_lock to sleep indefinitely. Other tasks waiting for this lock become hung, leading to system unresponsiveness.
