Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tcp: check skb is non-NULL in tcp_rto_delta_us()

We have some machines running stock Ubuntu 20.04.6 which is their 5.4.0-174-generic
kernel that are running ceph and recently hit a null ptr dereference in
tcp_rearm_rto(). Initially hitting it from the TLP path, but then later we also
saw it getting hit from the RACK case as well. Here are examples of the oops
messages we saw in each of those cases:
