Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf, sockmap: Fix an infinite loop error when len is 0 in tcp_bpf_recvmsg_parser()
When the buffer length of the recvmsg system call is 0, we got the
flollowing soft lockup problem:
