Vulnerability Insight:
Hadar Manor discovered that the DCCP protocol implementation in the Linux
kernel improperly handled socket reuse, leading to a use-after-free
vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-16119)

local attacker could possibly use this to bypass intended restrictions and
gain read access to restricted files. (CVE-2020-16120)
