Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
af_unix: Fix data-race around unix_tot_inflight.<br />
<br />
unix_tot_inflight is changed under spin_lock(unix_gc_lock), but<br />
unix_release_sock() reads it locklessly.<br />
<br />
Let&#39;s use READ_ONCE() for unix_tot_inflight.<br />
<br />
Note that the writer side was marked by commit 9d6d7f1cb67c ("af_unix:<br />
annote lockless accesses to unix_tot_inflight & gc_in_progress")<br />
<br />
