Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2019-18680
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel versions prior to 4.4.195
**Description**
The issue is related to a NULL pointer dereference in the `rds tcp kill sock()` function, which can cause denial of service. This can be exploited by a remote attacker to disrupt service.
**Recommendations**
For Linux kernel versions prior to 4.4.195, update to version 4.4.195 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `rds tcp kill sock()` function until a patch is available.
