In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: Fix TOCTOU issue in sk_is_readable()
sk->sk_prot->sock_is_readable is a valid function pointer when sk resides
in a sockmap. After the last sk_psock_put() (which usually happens when
socket is removed from sockmap), sk->sk_prot gets restored and
sk->sk_prot->sock_is_readable becomes NULL.
This makes sk_is_readable() racy, if the value of sk->sk_prot is reloaded
after the initial check. Which in turn may lead to a null pointer
dereference.
Ensure the function pointer does not turn NULL after the check. |
