CVE-2025-38717

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: kcm: Fix race condition in kcm_unattach() syzbot found a race condition when kcm_unattach(psock) and kcm_release(kcm) are executed at the same time. kcm_unattach() is missing a check of the flag kcm->tx_stopped before calling queue_work(). If the kcm has a reserved psock, kcm_unattach() might get executed between cancel_work_sync() and unreserve_psock() in kcm_release(), requeuing kcm->tx_work right before kcm gets freed in kcm_done(). Remove kcm->tx_stopped and replace it by the less error-prone disable_work_sync().

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, la siguiente vulnerabilidad ha sido resuelta: net: kcm: Corrige condición de carrera en kcm_unattach() syzbot encontró una condición de carrera cuando kcm_unattach(psock) y kcm_release(kcm) se ejecutan al mismo tiempo. A kcm_unattach() le falta una comprobación del flag kcm->tx_stopped antes de llamar a queue_work(). Si el kcm tiene un psock reservado, kcm_unattach() podría ejecutarse entre cancel_work_sync() y unreserve_psock() en kcm_release(), volviendo a encolar kcm->tx_work justo antes de que kcm sea liberado en kcm_done(). Eliminar kcm->tx_stopped y reemplazarlo por el menos propenso a errores disable_work_sync().
