Descripción

*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> af_unix: Unlink scc_entry in unix_del_edge().<br /> <br /> Kyle Zeng reported that GC could free a dead SCC partially.<br /> <br /> The scenario is as follows:<br /> <br /> 1) Create two SCCs:<br /> <br /> X -. A B<br /> ^--&amp;#39;<br /> <br /> 2) Run the following concurrently:<br /> <br /> 2-1) send() sk-B to sk-B from sk-X<br /> 2-2) close() both A and B<br /> <br /> At 2-1), there is a small window where unix_add_edges()<br /> publishes a new edge (B B) to GC but its skb is not queued<br /> by skb_queue_tail().<br /> <br /> If 2-2) completes before skb_queue_tail() and GC is triggered,<br /> it judges A B as dead, but B is not freed because GC cannot<br /> collect the not-yet-queued skb holding the B B edge.<br /> <br /> X -. A B -. This edge is visible<br /> ^--&amp;#39; ^..&amp;#39; but skb is not<br /> <br /> This itself is not a problem since the next GC run will judge<br /> B as dead as well and free it finally.<br /> <br /> X -. A B -.<br /> ^--&amp;#39; ^--&amp;#39;<br /> <br /> However, X&amp;#39;s SCC forces the next GC to call unix_walk_scc_fast(),<br /> and it iterates over A through B&amp;#39;s scc_entry.<br /> <br /> Let&amp;#39;s unlink scc_entry before freeing the vertex in unix_del_edge().
