CVE-2024-42271CVE-2024-42271
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/iucv: fix use after free in iucv_sock_close()
iucv_sever_path() is called from process context and from bh context.
iucv->path is used as indicator whether somebody else is taking care of
severing the path (or it is already removed / never existed).
This needs to be done with atomic compare and swap, otherwise there is a
small window where iucv_sock_close() will try to work with a path that has
already been severed and freed by iucv_callback_connrej() called by
iucv_tasklet_fn().
