A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel where an attacker may be able to have
an uncontrolled read to kernel-memory from within a vm guest. A race
condition between connect() and close() function may allow an attacker
using the AF_VSOCK protocol to gather a 4 byte information leak or possibly
intercept or corrupt AF_VSOCK messages destined to other clients.
This is a clean cherry pick to Bionic, Cosmic, and Disco/4.19. The
unstable/4.20 tree already has the fix applied.
