Summary

In the Linux kernel, sock_hash_free() lacked a cond_resched() call, causing soft lockups when destroying large maps with many buckets. The fix adds cond_resched() to yield the CPU when needed.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability can cause temporary system hangs (soft lockups) when freeing large socket maps, leading to performance degradation and potential service unavailability.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that adds cond_resched() in sock_hash_free().
