CVE-2023-53549

*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> netfilter: ipset: Rework long task execution when adding/deleting entries<br /> <br /> When adding/deleting large number of elements in one step in ipset, it can<br /> take a reasonable amount of time and can result in soft lockup errors. The<br /> patch 5f7b51bf09ba ("netfilter: ipset: Limit the maximal range of<br /> consecutive elements to add/delete") tried to fix it by limiting the max<br /> elements to process at all. However it was not enough, it is still possible<br /> that we get hung tasks. Lowering the limit is not reasonable, so the<br /> approach in this patch is as follows: rely on the method used at resizing<br /> sets and save the state when we reach a smaller internal batch limit,<br /> unlock/lock and proceed from the saved state. Thus we can avoid long<br /> continuous tasks and at the same time removed the limit to add/delete large<br /> number of elements in one step.<br /> <br /> The nfnl mutex is held during the whole operation which prevents one to<br /> issue other ipset commands in parallel.
