Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
rxrpc: Fix data-race warning and potential load/store tearing<br />
<br />
Fix the following:<br />
<br />
BUG: KCSAN: data-race in rxrpc_peer_keepalive_worker / rxrpc_send_data_packet<br />
<br />
which is reporting an issue with the reads and writes to ->last_tx_at in:<br />
<br />
conn->peer->last_tx_at = ktime_get_seconds();<br />
<br />
and:<br />
<br />
keepalive_at = peer->last_tx_at + RXRPC_KEEPALIVE_TIME;<br />
<br />
The lockless accesses to these to values aren&#39;t actually a problem as the<br />
read only needs an approximate time of last transmission for the purposes<br />
of deciding whether or not the transmission of a keepalive packet is<br />
warranted yet.<br />
<br />
Also, as ->last_tx_at is a 64-bit value, tearing can occur on a 32-bit<br />
arch.<br />
<br />
Fix both of these by switching to an unsigned int for ->last_tx_at and only<br />
storing the LSW of the time64_t. It can then be reconstructed at need<br />
provided no more than 68 years has elapsed since the last transmission.
