Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netdevsim: fix a race issue related to the operation on bpf_bound_progs list
The netdevsim driver lacks a protection mechanism for operations on the
bpf_bound_progs list. When the nsim_bpf_create_prog() performs
list_add_tail, it is possible that nsim_bpf_destroy_prog() is
simultaneously performs list_del. Concurrent operations on the list may
lead to list corruption and trigger a kernel crash as follows:
