Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
rxrpc: Make it so that a waiting process can be aborted<br />
<br />
When sendmsg() creates an rxrpc call, it queues it to wait for a connection<br />
and channel to be assigned and then waits before it can start shovelling<br />
data as the encrypted DATA packet content includes a summary of the<br />
connection parameters.<br />
<br />
However, sendmsg() may get interrupted before a connection gets assigned<br />
and further sendmsg() calls will fail with EBUSY until an assignment is<br />
made.<br />
<br />
Fix this so that the call can at least be aborted without failing on<br />
EBUSY. We have to be careful here as sendmsg() mustn&#39;t be allowed to start<br />
the call timer if the call doesn&#39;t yet have a connection assigned as an<br />
oops may follow shortly thereafter.
