DESCRIPTION
* Deadlock in Reliable Datagram socket connection.

connection could result in a task hang under specific conditions leading
to an I/O stall.

* Denial-of-service in Reliable Datagram Socket send cancellation.
A number of logic bugs when cancelling an RDS send operation could
result in out-of-bounds accesses and a kernel crash. A local user could
use this flaw to crash the system, or potentially, escalate privileges.
