CVE-2022-4269 is a deadlock vulnerability in the Linux kernel Traffic Control (TC) subsystem. When the TC mirred action redirects egress packets to ingress, TCP or SCTP retransmission can trigger an ABBA deadlock. A local unprivileged user can exploit this condition to cause a CPU soft lockup and denial of service.
