Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> net/iucv: fix locking in .getsockopt<br /> <br /> Mirror iucv_sock_setsockopt() and wrap the whole switch in<br /> lock_sock()/release_sock(). The pre-existing SO_MSGLIMIT-only lock<br /> becomes redundant and is removed.<br /> <br /> Any AF_IUCV HIPER user can potentially crash the kernel by racing<br /> recvmsg() with getsockopt(SO_MSGSIZE): the SO_MSGSIZE arm dereferences<br /> iucv-&gt;hs_dev-&gt;mtu after iucv_sock_close() (called from the racing<br /> recvmsg()) has set hs_dev to NULL, producing a NULL pointer dereference<br /> oops.
