Red Hat: CVE-2025-40248: kernel: Linux kernel: vsock vulnerability may lead to memory corruption (Multiple Advisories)

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's `vsock` component. This vulnerability occurs when a `connect()` operation on an already established socket is interrupted by a signal or timeout, causing the system to mishandle the socket's state. This incorrect handling can lead to a race condition, potentially resulting in memory corruption, such as a use-after-free or null-pointer dereference. A local attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service or potentially escalate privileges.
